European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed on Sunday the defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in the parliamentary elections, stating that the heart of Europe beats stronger in Hungary and that the country has chosen its European future. The victory of the opposition Tisza party was also welcomed by other prominent European politicians. Orbán's sixteen-year government had long been criticized by Brussels officials for violations of the rule of law and judicial independence. On Monday, von der Leyen announced that she is ready to work with election winner Péter Magyar on fundamental reforms aimed at unblocking EU fund financing for Hungary. ta3.com ↗
However, a new development represents sharp critical remarks from former European Council chief Charles Michel, who in an interview for the newspaper The Brussels Times sharply criticized von der Leyen herself. Michel claims that the Commission President is violating the treaties and governing in an authoritarian manner, thereby breaking his longer silence on this matter. The Court of Justice of the European Union recently ruled that the 2021 amendment to the Hungarian law on the protection of children and families, referred to as the "anti-LGBTI law," violates the rights and rules of the Union. pravda.sk ↗
At the same time, Slovakia faces serious problems in the area of agricultural subsidies. The European Commission proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture that the accreditation of the Agricultural Paying Agency (PPA) be conditionally suspended. This agency distributes hundreds of millions of euros annually. Should the measures be adopted, it could mean corrections of up to 25 percent of the payments disbursed so far. The opposition criticizes Agriculture Minister Richard Takáč and calls for his resignation, with the Christian Democratic Movement warning of a possible collapse in agriculture and the forfeiture of EU funds. ta3.com ↗
Good news for Slovakia is that it is engaged in supporting Ukraine. The Slovak Eximbanka has concluded a guarantee agreement with the European Commission for energy projects in Ukraine under the Ukraine Investment Framework initiative. Slovakia is participating in one of the key EU investment programs focused on the reconstruction of Ukraine, with more than 100 million euros to be directed toward energy. EU member states also supported the approval of a 90-billion loan for Ukraine. At the European level, Brussels is awaiting the resumption of oil flow through the Druzhba pipeline, while Slovakia has temporarily blocked the EU's 20th sanctions package against Russia, which has not yet been formally adopted. aktuality.sk ↗
