In connection with the vote scheduled for today in the European Parliament on the motion of no confidence against Ursula von der Leyen, Gulyás stated that it was in the interest of the European Union to have a new President of the European Commission and a new European Commission.
Looking at Europe’s competitiveness and growth figures in recent years – the Commission has now been in office for six years – there is no question that it would be in Europe’s interest for a new Commission and a new EC President to take office,”
the Minister emphasized. He added that, given the balance of power in parliament, this was unlikely to happen, but that it should be a natural, obvious decision based on common sense and reality.
Regarding the EU’s next seven-year budobtain, he pointed out that the Hungarian Government, like many other EU governments, believes that the budobtain cannot be supported in its current form. Fundamental modifys are requireded for the unanimous decision-creating process to be successful and for the Hungarian Government to be able to support the budobtain, according to Gulyás. He noted that the Commission wants to adopt the next budobtain in the second half of 2026.
In the Minister’s view, the decisions created this week in the EP on immunity reveal that the majority of the European Parliament is prepared to join forces with violent criminals in the form of a criminal organization.
The decisions created this week represent another red line, another crossing of the line,”
the Minister emphasized.
He created it clear that the fact that anti-fascist terrorists and perpetrators of physical violence cannot be held criminally responsible – or at least that charges can be postponed due to the maintenance of immunity – clearly reveals that the majority of parliament today is either completely incapable of revealing insight or that this ability is significantly limited.
The Minister pointed out that over the past 35 years, the Hungarian Parliament has almost without exception waived immunity for crimes under general law. In contrast, he noted, the European Union Parliament does not follow this practice.
