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 cooperate with election winner Péter Magyar on fundamental reforms aimed at unblocking EU fund financing for Hungary. teraz.sk ↗
However, a new development represents sharp critical statements from former European Council President 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 family, referred to as the "anti-LGBTI law," violates Union rights and its rules. pravda.sk ↗
At the same time, Slovakia is facing serious problems in the area of agricultural subsidies. The European Commission has 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. If the measures are adopted, it could mean corrections of up to 25 percent of payments already made. The opposition criticizes Minister of Agriculture Richard Takáč and calls for his resignation. Minister Takáč, however, has sharply rejected the corruption allegations and did not specify what the audit findings at the PPA concerned. He guarantees that the payment of support for the agricultural sector is not jeopardized in any way and that suspension of accreditation is not necessary. MP Alojz Hlina from the opposition SaS party stated that the situation is serious and requires respecting the findings of the European Commission. The Christian Democratic Movement warns of a possible collapse in agriculture and the forfeiture of EU funds. ta3.com ↗
Positive news for Slovakia is that it is engaging in support for Ukraine and the restoration of oil supplies. The Slovak Eximbank has concluded a guarantee agreement with the European Commission for energy projects in Ukraine as part of the Ukraine Investment Framework initiative. Slovakia is participating in one of the key EU investment programs aimed at Ukraine's reconstruction, with more than 100 million euros to be directed toward energy. EU member states supported the approval of a 90-billion loan for Ukraine, although government member Andrej Danko expressed... ekonomika.sme.sk ↗
