How far will the EU go to boycott Orbán? | Radio Schuman
Will the European Parliament boycott the Hungarian presidency? Is the European Commission’s move connected with the Ursula von der Leyen’s vote to be confirmed as European Commission president?
As a consequence of Orban’s trips to China and Russia, European Commission spokesperson Eric Mamer announced on Monday, 15 July, the cancellation of the usual EU executive trip to Hungary, typically held at the start of each presidency.
Additionally, only civil servants will represent the EU executive during next informal council meetings. This happened just a few days before a crucial vote for Ursula von der Leyen to be re-appointed as EU executive president on Thursday.
