Orbán Viktor annyira megdolgozik a sikerért, hogy az még a Le Figaro tudósítóját is elgondolkodtatta
A francia lap szerint a magyar miniszterelnök minden lehetőséget megragad.
Things are even worse in Romania, an EU official told our blog writer in Brussels, because there “they are not changing the constitution. They are breaking it”.
„Last year the European Parliament also considered this move for Hungary after its new government made controversial changes to the constitution that put judges, central bankers and media under party control. But things are even worse in Romania, an EU official told our blog writer in Brussels, because there »they are not changing the constitution. They are breaking it«. (...)
On July 7th, parliament voted in favour of impeaching Traian Basescu, the president, on alleged misuse of power. It was a déjà vu: in 2007 Mr Basescu was suspended for a month until Romanians voted him back into office. But this time around, polls suggest he would lose the impending referendum on his return to power by almost 65%. Mr Basescu’s defeat is even more certain since the Social-Liberal government of Mr Ponta has changed the referendum rules: there is no required minimum turnout for a referendum to be valid, which means that the dismissal of the president can be approved with the majority of those participating, however few. Mr Basescu's dwindling electorate is mostly urban and highly educated, but a lot of them are disenchanted by the former sea captain because of his abrasive style and his failure to shake up the political system as promised. They are unlikely to participate in a vote.
Nobody in Brussels really understands why the Ponta government is so blatant in ignoring current legislation and in moving swiftly to get institutions – especially the judiciary – under party control. It is even more difficult to comprehend as Mr Ponta is poised to win the general elections later this year. »We were flabbergasted. But it is a mistake for them to think they can pull it through, these are not the 1990s«, the EU official said. Romania is still under EU monitoring for guaranteeing an independent judiciary and for effectively fighting corruption and other crimes. A report is due later this month.”
