"Mr President, a prime minister with a two thirds majority in his or her own parliament does not need to tinker with the constitution in order to achieve the results he or she wants. When one has such a large majority, there is no need to take the minority parties hostage, so that one can continue to rule from beyond the grave. Thus, a major question still remains about your motives. Why do you not just go down the normal route?
You will not be stopped from pursuing those motives by other countries. Nor will you actually be stopped by the Commission. As you, yourself, said, the likely outcome of an infringement procedure in which three issues are highlighted and in which another thirty-something are left until later – I would like to mention freedom of religion here – is that two or three things will be changed and then the infringement procedure will be discontinued, as we have witnessed in the case of the Media Act. Three amendments and then the Commission’s comments were withdrawn. Meanwhile, journalists are being stripped of their jobs and radio stations are losing their frequencies.
My question to you, Mr Orbán, is why do you, as a respectable, democratic politician in possession of a majority, not take the decent route?"@en1
