“Barley Calls for an End to Orban's Tactics and Urges Action Against Hungary's Prime Minister”
Katarina Barley, the leading candidate for
the SPD in the European elections, firmly rejects Hungary's Prime Minister
Viktor Orban's stance on providing aid to Ukraine. Barley insists that Orban
must cease imposing new conditions or resorting to future blackmail attempts.
She emphasized the need for an end to Orban's tactics, stating that it's
crucial for him to relent without attaching additional conditions. Orban's
proposal involves the EU deciding annually on sending financial assistance to
Ukraine.
Barley criticized Orban's approach,
labeling it as typical of him and highlighting his history of seeking personal
gains, usually financial, in exchange for cooperation. She pointed out that
such tactics are not acceptable, and the patience with Orban's behavior is
wearing thin. Barley expressed her desire to see Orban lose his voting rights
in the Council of Europe due to his prolonged erosion of democracy in Hungary
and his attempts to influence others through coercion.
She noted that the freezing of funds has
already occurred as a response to Orban's actions, citing his impact on
Hungary's democracy, rule of law, media, and judiciary. Barley mentioned the
possibility of the next step being the suspension of Hungary's voting rights,
describing it as the "sharpest sword." However, she acknowledged that
this process would be lengthy.
