The aim of the recent Brussels ‘blackmail report’ is to drag Hungary into a war, European Union research director for the Center for Fundamental Rights Attila Kovács said at a press conference in Budapest on Wednesday, 5 July.
He went on to state that the Rule of Law Report released by the European Commission (EC) on Wednesday addresses both the general state of the EU and individual member states. Within the entire report, 45 pages and 4 chapters discuss Hungary’s state of affairs. The chapters dealing with judicial system reforms, measures against corruption, and the issue of checks and balances indicate progress or at least show some acknowledgement towards Hungarian efforts. However, the report provides a critical examination of the situation of the media in Hungary. ‘It seems that they cannot step out of the framework that only what is liberal is considered independent and objective,’ noted Kovács.
This report is war blackmail, and the reason is that time is running out for the EU, he continued. European parliamentary elections will be held next year, a new Commission will be formed, and they want to put pressure on Hungary before that. The current EC needs to hurry because Hungary and the PM are made of tough material, he added. However, Attila Kovács also believes that
the upcoming EU and US elections next year provide an opportunity to reduce corruption in Brussels, to ‘drain the Brussels swamp,’ and to bring about peace.
The director stated that similar pressure reports have been produced in the EU, mainly by the European Parliament, but this is the first time one has been issued by the Commission.
There are several levels of EU blackmail.
Previously, there were political differences due to some conflicting national interests, then there was financial blackmail, when Hungary was not given the funds it was entitled to. Now, Brussels is engaged in war blackmail against Hungary. Their aim is to punish the country for its peace-oriented stance and to ‘drag it into war,’ Attila Kovács emphasised.
According to the director, in Brussels, people are asked for their opinions but then get ignored, unlike in Hungary, where the government rejects migration in line with the people’s stance. While the street riots in France show that the state of affairs is crumbling and multiculturalism has failed in Western Europe, mandatory migrant redistribution is still on the agenda. The new leader of the ‘Soros clan’ managed to accomplish this within a few weeks.
He added that Ágnes Kunhalmi, a socialist politician, spoke in 2015 about migration being a fake problem, and Tamás Bauer, a former politician from the late Hungarian liberal SZDSZ party, recently said that the French model is an example for Hungary. The American BLM movement and progressive ideology have entered Western Europe, this process is playing out in France. Those who support the EU’s migration policy may lead our country into the current French conditions.
Regarding the war in Hungary’s neighbourhood that has been ongoing for more than 500 days,
Attila Kovács emphasised that the EU’s policy of sanctions is ineffective, as the war continues,
and it only achieves high inflation and an increased cost of living for European citizens. Meanwhile, the EU asks for money from European citizens, under the guise of assisting Ukraine, to continue the war, and to keep spending on migration and payraises for Brussels bureaucrats. If someone asks where the money is, the answer is the ‘blackmail report,’ said Attila Kovács.
