explaining european values…...

The European Parliament voted on Thursday to brand Hungary an “electoral autocracy.” The symbolic declaration comes as the rift between Budapest and Brussels widens, with the EU accusing Hungary of corruption and Prime Minister Viktor Orban of breaking with the bloc on immigration and anti-Russian sanctions.

In a 433 to 123 vote, the parliament agreed to no longer consider Hungary a “democracy,” and instead to label it a “hybrid regime of electoral autocracy.” 

In its report on Hungary’s political system, EU lawmakers alleged that the country’s elections and judicial independence are compromised, and that Orban’s government has restricted the rights of migrants, minorities, and the LGBT community. The report’s conclusions were based on an “increasing consensus among experts,” the document read.

Hungary countered that the report “is based on subjective opinions and politically biased statements,”and is “yet another attempt by the federalist European political parties to attack Hungary and its Christian-democratic, conservative government.” 

The report calls on the European Commission to “make full use of the tools available” to force Budapest back in line with “European values.”

The vote came a day after Bloomberg reported that the European Commission may withhold more than €40 billion in funding for Hungary over allegations of corruption by Orban’s government. The commission began investigating these allegations shortly after Orban’s Fidesz party was re-elected in a landslide victory in April.

The European Parliament in 2018 voted to trigger Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union against Hungary in response to Orban’s crackdown on immigration and supposed defiance of the bloc’s “core values.” If ratified by the Council of Europe, this move could deprive Hungary of its membership rights or subject it to sanctions.

In addition to heavily restricting immigration, Hungary has more recently clashed with the EU over the bloc’s response to the conflict in Ukraine. Hungary has refused to allow weapons to enter Ukraine from its territory, has opposed sanctions on Russian fossil fuels, and has upped its own purchases of gas from Russia.

cold winter for the slaves……...

 

By Mac Slavo

As winter approaches, Russia seems to have the upper hand. The country has been withholding and cutting off natural gas supplies to European Union countries in response to sanctions placed on it over the Ukraine “invasion.”

Because of the EU’s inability to face “reality”, they face a cold and dark winter. Hungary’s State Secretary for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Tamas Menczer, says that the bloc may rethink restrictions on Moscow as soon as the autumn.

 

The restrictions imposed on Russian trade to punish it for attacking Ukraine have failed to change Moscow’s behavior and actually rewarded it with increased revenues after they triggered a spike in energy prices, the MP said during an appearance on M1 TV on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the European countries that imposed the sanctions are facing energy shortages. -RT

 

Russia “Weaponizes” Natural Gas Until “Sanctions Are LIfted”

The Hungarian MP confirmed that his country, which criticized the EU’s drive to decouple the economy of the bloc from Russian energy, opposed the idea of introducing a price cap on gas bought from foreign nations. He called the proposal absurd and impractical, citing Moscow’s promises to cut supplies to customers that try to dictate the price.

Last week, Hungarian Parliament Speaker Laszlo Kover claimed that the EU is the “loser” in the Ukraine conflict due to the economic damage caused by the sanctions and Russia’s response to them.

The European Commission has reportedly backpedaled on the gas price cap and is currently working on a mechanism to tax the windfall profits of energy companies. Brussels is also urging EU nations to impose various energy-saving measures to better prepare for peak consumption during the winter. -RT

“Reality knocks on the door of every country,” Menczer said, explaining why he believes the sanctions will be lifted sooner rather than later. Member states are set to review their sanctions policies later in the autumn. Failure to reevaluate the sanctions will destroy the EU’s economy and the slaves residing there. If the West removes the sanctions, they will be admitting defeat to Russia. So what will the West do?

The West has limited options and none are good for it. They either admit defeat and walk back the sanctions on Russia, or they allow the slaves to starve and freeze this winter. I think we can guess which option they will choose considering they have proven time and time again that they don’t care even a little bit about the slaves.

REALITY:

The situation in "Ukraine" is simple. Instead of being called EIRE (Ireland), it's called the Donbass Republics. But the Yanking Yanks have other ideas (an ASSAULT ON THE HEARTLAND). The Donbass is populated by RUSSIANS. Crimea is populated by RUSSIANS. People there speak RUSSIAN. But the DICK-PIANO PLAYING COMIC WHO MASQUERADES AS THE PRESIDENT of a (nazi) country, who claims that he will liberate the people on behalf of Ukraine in these regions is ludicrous. LUDICROUS.

Please, Jo Biden, stop feeding the monster Zelensky.... YES WE KNOW, YOU'RE A MONSTER OF THE SAME KIND YOURSELF....
