Kyiv-Budapest diplomatic spat escalates over treatment of ethnic Hungarians

KYIV – This week members of the Party of Hungarians walked out of the inaugural session of the newly elected Zakarpattia regional council in Uzhhorod over what they called political persecution. By doing so, they abstained from voting for a council head in the westernmost Ukrainian oblast where some 80 percent of the 150,000 ethnic Hungarians live in the country. It was the latest flare up of tension between Ukraine and Hungary, the latter of which took issue with a raid on a Hungarian charity in the region late last month by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The counterintelligence agency said on its website that the raid on the Hungarian Cultural Association in Transcarpathia was part of several investigations in the region related to “information about the involvement of foreign funding in activities aimed at violating the state sovereignty of Ukraine.”

EU strikes Compromise agreement with Hungary and Poland over next long term budget

EU strikes Compromise agreement with Hungary and Poland over next long term budget Business groups welcome long-awaited deal, but critics call ‘rule of law’ compromise a ‘capitulation’. Adobe Stock 11 Dec 2020 The compromise, on the long-term EU budget and the Next Generation EU recovery instrument was brokered by Germany, the current holder of the rotating EU Council Presidency, and was endorsed at an EU summit late on Thursday. Hungary and Poland said earlier on Thursday they would lift their veto of the €1.85 trillion budget and Coronavirus recovery plan if the German-led deal was agreed by other EU members. Both central European states were initially angry that future EU funding would be conditional on respect for the “rule of law.”

The Danger of a Budget Compromise - EU Rule of Law

The Danger of a Budget Compromise An Interpretative Declaration Suggests No Political Will to Resist Backsliders 10 December 2020 This week’s suggested compromise on the long-term EU budget and rule of law conditionality indicates that the EU institutions are still not ready to defend their core principles and values. Christmas came early this year not only for the European Union but for backsliding regimes as well. Once again, the EU has made concessions for autocratic minded leaders to overcome a deadlock, this time on the Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) after Poland and Hungary aggressively pushed a veto for the last couple of weeks. The EU cooked up an interpretative declaration, indicating a clarification about the rule of law mechanism’s implementation, to soothe the rebels.
