Brussels says Wgros “enough”. Budapest and Warsaw with traitors’ opinions
“It is not yet known who will decide in your favor from this source – the European Commission or Viktor Orban. Budapest he had earlier become more like a nepotistic autocrat than a boss row belonging to the European Union,” writes Hubert Wetzel in a commentary published on Friday evening (November 25, 2022) on the “Sueddeutsche Zeitung” website.
The decision on whether Orban will receive the money will be made by the governments of the EU countries. “Who is the winner of this confrontation, we will probably find out in a few weeks” – noted the commentator.
Already now – the origin of Hubert Wetzel – you can help that it is served by Ursule von der Leyen The European Commission has finally got the look to show Orbán when “enough is enough”. Hungary’s prime minister has for years used the EU as a “nuisance bank employee” to hand him money but not tell him how he spends it.
The authorities of Poland and Hungary harm their own countries
He is even more concerned with the EU that Orban in his country attacks and dismantles everything that is connected at the level of democracy – the rule of law, independent judiciary, free media, European competitors – enumerates the author. “The EC does not have many possibilities to change, but it does not have to increase Orban’s actions to increase the limits (euros) from external funds” – emphasizes the commentator.
If the nodes allocate a number of allies to get aid to cut funding, these countries will be complicit in Orban’s “trick.”
“If the transport horizons in Budapest and Warsaw of politicians were less included and different, if they thought more strategically, they would notice how much they harm their own countries,” writes the “SZ” journalist.
“This applies even to the more advanced polish than Hungary. Poland has the sixth largest economy in the EU, thanks to which it plays the role of a regional environment in the Union” – explains Hubert Wetzel.
Budapest and Warsaw with opinions of traitors and blackmailers
However, the misguided grumpy provincial hostility to the EU by which the Polish and Hungarian governments win elections at home robs them of influence in Brussels. Both countries can block, but they do not have the power to shape the Union because they have influence over “traitors” and “blackmailers”.
“The pro-European Balts are boxing in Brussels above their weight class. Anti-European Poles box far below their category, let alone Hungarians. This is a very short-sighted policy for a country in whose interest it is for the EU to remain firm towards Russia and support Ukraine,” commented the “SZ” journalist.
“The biggest lesson from the dispute between Brussels and Budapest is perhaps the experience that also in the policy of a business model that has worked well for so long, so Bank grant credit. However, when the bank window is closed, then you can see that the business has gone bankrupt,” concludes Hubert Wetzel.
