The Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, and Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, say that what Brussels is demanding from both countries could lead to the end and “disintegration” of the European Union (EU).
It is recalled that this Thursday the two prime ministers of Poland and Hungary confirmed the veto to European budgets – the so-called “bazooka” – as long as the payment of Community funds is conditional on compliance with the rule of law.
“The current proposal is not acceptable for Hungary,” said the Hungarian Prime Minister, after a meeting in Budapest with his Polish counterpart, adding that “it would serve to create the primacy of the majority and not the law”.
“Political disputes over the rule of law and the urgent need to resolve economic issues cannot be linked,” said Orbán, quoted by RTP.
The Polish Prime Minister, for his part, added that the veto is due to the fact that the conditioning proposal is “politically motivated” and could “lead to the disintegration of the European Union”. “It is a dangerous and damaging solution,” warned Morawiecki.
“A mechanism that, due to its arbitrariness, due to the nature of decisions motivated only by politics, would inevitably lead to the discredit of the EU”, underlined the Polish Prime Minister, quoted by RTP.
Thus, the leaders of the two countries say that the demands of Brussels could end the European Union and ‘blame’ the blame for the remaining 25 member states.
In a joint statement, Orbán and Morawiecki strengthened their alliance and said that neither would give approval to “any proposal that the other party considers unacceptable”.
