"From the very moment it came to power, the Hungarian Government has been persisting in promoting policies that conflict with European law and have a strong nationalist-populist aspect. Both the media law and certain provisions of the new constitution or the new law concerning the organisation and management of the central bank prove that the right-wing government in Budapest is deliberately challenging the Community
and democratic principles, even though a whole series of international and European organisations, including the European Parliament, have reiterated their serious concerns regarding the undemocratic tendencies of the policies promoted by it.
In this context, I welcome the decision made by the European Commission to initiate proceedings against Hungary for infringing the Treaties. However, I hope that this process will not remain at this initial stage, but will definitely continue if the government in Budapest fails to comply with EU law as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Commission should also take a stance against similar infringements of democratic principles in Romania and Bulgaria, countries where there is a steady decline in European values under the impact of the antisocial policies promoted by right-wing governments."@en1
