Parliament condemns the “deliberate and systematic efforts of the Hungarian
government” to undermine European values and demands results in the Article 7
process.
The lack of decisive EU action has contributed to the emergence of a “hybrid
regime of electoral autocracy”, i.e. a constitutional system in which elections
occur, but respect for democratic norms and standards is absent, MEPs say.
The report adopted on Thursday, with 433 votes for, 123 against, and 28
abstentions, builds on the one with which Parliament triggered the Article 7
procedure in 2018, to provide an overview of developments in Parliament’s 12
areas of concern. It thereby demonstrates how the values enshrined in Article 2
of the EU Treaties, including democracy and fundamental rights in the country
have further deteriorated since 2018, through the “deliberate and systematic
efforts of the Hungarian government”, and exacerbated by EU inaction."
