Survive the News The European Parliament voted on Thursday to declare Hungary „no longer a full democracy“ – particularly ironic since the EU is ruled by an unelected Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen, whose husband is a Big Pharma lobbyist, and the EU supported actual neo-Nazis in the recent, and very democratic, Hungarian elections.
On Thursday, the European Parliament voted 433 to 123 against (28 abstentions) to adopt a report by Green MEP Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield, complaining that “democracy and fundamental rights in (Hungary) have further deteriorated since 2018, through the deliberate and systematic efforts of the Hungarian government.”
Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield stated that “Hungary is not a democracy. It was more urgent than ever for the Parliament to take this stance, considering the alarming rate at which rule of law is backsliding in Hungary. Beyond acknowledging Fidesz’s autocratic strategy, the large majority of MEPs supporting this position in the European Parliament is unprecedented. This should be a wake-up call for the Council and Commission.”
This is particularly ironic coming from the sham EU Parliament, which has no power to draft legislation, but exists only to rubber-stamp laws drawn up in secret by the thousand-odd subcommittees of the European Union, and bypassing national parliaments altogether…
