EU-Commission presents annual report on the rule of law
Hungary has held the rotating EU-Council presidency in this semester. Prime Minister Viktor Orban initiated a self-declared "peace mission" directly at the beginning with Ukraine War. He visited among others Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The European Commission published its Annual report, highlighting the rule of law as a key focus area for various Member states, including Hungary. Despite holding the EU-Council presidency, Hungary's actions during the Ukrainian conflict raised concerns about adherence to the EU's principles. The ice between Hungary and some EU members has thickened due to Hungary's disregard for the rule of law, as stated in the Annual report. The European Commission emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law in all Member states to maintain unity and effectiveness within the EU.
