EU Commission rejects Hungary’s solo actions

Von der Leyen calls for boycott against Hungary Prime Minister Orban in sight

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has ordered a boycott in response to the unilateral steps taken by Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Ukraine policy. This step marks a clear departure from the previous cooperation between the EU Commission and Hungary.

Von der Leyen criticized Orban's unilateral actions as incompatible with the common goals and values ​​of the European Union. The boycott includes the participation of commissioners in informal ministerial meetings held in Hungary under the leadership of the current EU Council Presidency. Instead, only high-ranking officials are sent.

In addition to this measure, the EU Commission has decided not to make the traditional inaugural visit to the Hungarian Presidency. A Commission spokesperson stressed that this step should be understood as a clear message to Hungary.

Ursula von der Leyen's decision signals strong resistance to Orban's unilateral actions and marks a turning point in relations between the EU Commission and Hungary. It underlines the importance of adhering to common EU standards and values ​​for constructive cooperation within the European Union.
