📢What happened in Poland after the elections is now repeating in Hungary: A constitutional carpet bombing is taking place in Hungary today, while the EU rewards the new Hungarian government by releasing €16 billion — the very same funds it had withheld from the previous government precisely because it accused the Orbán government of dismantling the rule of law. In Hungary, just like in every normal democracy, the President of the Republic can be removed through a legal process: a certain number of Members of Parliament initiate impeachment proceedings, and if, at the end of the process, two-thirds of the Constitutional Court decides that the President has violated the Constitution or the law, they can be removed. This is one of the tools of checks and balances. This is exactly what happened in Lithuania in 2004. But this is not what is happening in Hungary. The new Hungarian government is essentially removing the President of the Republic with a stroke of a pen, without any impeachment procedure — something unprecedented anywhere in Europe. Equally unprecedented in the EU is the introduction of a 12-year term limit for Members of Parliament. This effectively decapitates half of the opposition, as it consists of parties that have been active since 1989, with many representatives having served multiple terms because voters repeatedly re-elected them. In contrast, the politicians of the new government are all completely “zero-kilometer” — they are brand-new politicians entering parliament for the first time. Finally, through personalized and retroactive legislation — two things that are unacceptable in a rule-of-law state — they have banned the leader of the opposition, Orbán, from running in future elections. With this new step, the government has essentially abolished popular representation, because the foundation of democracy is that anyone can run for office and anyone can be elected. Instead of speaking up, Brussels is actually giving money to the new government to “restore the rule of law.” Equality before the law and legal certainty are dead in the EU. The EU has become a global liberal bureaucratic monster that installs puppet states in power, allowing them to engage in legal thuggery as long as they serve its own agenda.
