Tillsammans med mina MEP kollegor från olika politiska grupper kräver vi nu att @sweden2023eu gör mer för att få Ungern att respektera demokratin och rättsstatens principer.

Rådet måste hålla en hearing och påbörja arbetet med att ta fram skarpa rekommendationer.

Suspension of #Hungary's funds should be wake up call. EU states should commit to protect democratic & rule-of-law based Europe.

1⃣Speak up when rights are under attack
2⃣Use conditionality mechanism
3⃣Move #Article7 scrutiny forward, adopt recommendations, vote on determination

https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/12/05/open-letter-eu-governments-regarding-eu-funds-hungary

Suspension of EU cohesion & Covid funds until reforms implemented: this is the result of 10-year #RuleOfLaw decline in #Hungary.

Let's make it clear that such measures to suspend funds to an EU states were taken because the capture of checks-&-balance, lack of judicial independence, attacks on media & civil society & intolerant policies shouldn't have a place in the EU.

And let's remind that EU states should also take their responsibilities and move #Article7 forward.

👍👍 EU Affairs Comm. at #France's National Assembly calls on EU states to suspend funds to #Hungary until effective reforms are implemented, to pursue #Article7 scrutiny 👇

Member states should take their responsibilities & protect a democratic Europe.

Charges against Parliamentarian for symbolic protest for right to abortion is a threat to women's rights as well as an attack on free speech.

#Poland's #RuleOfLaw crisis has now a visible impact on democracy & basic fundamental rights.

@EU_Commission @dreynders @VeraJourova
@helenadalli: Urgent to speak up, update and broaden your reasoned opinion under #article7 & press Poland to drop charges.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/12/04/poland-lawmaker-faces-charges-pro-choice-protest

#Hungary: today @EU_Commission did the right thing by insisting that milestones and remedial measures "must all be met in full" and that Hungary should demonstrate genuine changes before Covid funds and cohesion funds are unblocked.

The ball is now on member states' camp.
EU Council should approve suspension of EU funds under #RuleOfLaw conditionality & move #Article7 scrutiny forward.

Compromises with #Hungary's leadership on rights & rule of law should stop.

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/statement_22_7318

Credible media reports @EU_Commission leaning towards confirming freezing EU funds to #Hungary until it demonstrates #RuleOfLaw concerns enabling corruption are fixed.
Important to stick to it. And important for Member States to voice support for conditionality and move #Article7 forward.
There is no space for autocratic leaders in the EU.

Hungary Out, Ukraine In!

Hearing about the situation of the #ruleoflaw in #Hungary under the #Article7 procedure will start soon #EUCouncil. This is the 5th hearing since the process was launched in 2018 by an #EP report authored by @JudithSargentin

Capture or powers by executive, erosion of media pluralism & freedom of association: rule-of-law decline in #Hungary requires urgent action.

Today at #GAC #Article7, EU member states should make it clear they take the problem seriously.

1⃣ Adopt time-bound & specific rule of law recommendations

2⃣ Vote to determine risk of breach to rule-of-law in #Hungary

3⃣ Consider rule-of-law breakdown to assess whether EU budget protection measures can work.
