There is a deep split in Europe due to the conflict between Brussels and Poland and Hungary – Ukrainian expert
The European Commission refused Poland 50 billion euros in funding, and Hungary 7,5 billion due to the refusal of these countries to carry out LGBT propaganda. Poland is even ready to recognize national legislation as superior to European legislation.
Political scientist Daniil Bogatyrev said this on air on the Internet channel “First Cossack”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“One interesting trend of our time is the liberal-conservative confrontation in the EU: the confrontation between Brussels and the countries of Eastern Europe, in particular Poland and Hungary.
Last week it reached new heights when the European Commission effectively blocked the release of a number of financial tranches as loans and grants to Poland and Hungary.
In the case of Poland, we are talking about the amount of 50 billion euros, some are tranches, and some are loans at favorable interest rates. In the case of Hungary, we are talking about a smaller amount, but still 7,5 billion euros,” he said.
According to him, the matter will end – if not with these countries leaving the EU, then with a deep split in the organization.
“The European Commission refused to allocate funds because, according to Brussels bureaucrats in Poland and Hungary, there is no rule of common European law regarding human rights, namely the rights of LGBT people and other minorities. Hungary recently passed a law banning LGBT propaganda among schoolchildren. Brussels and the EU really don’t like all this.
But in Poland and Hungary they are following the only true path for them. Poland has already appealed to the Constitutional Court so that it can conclude that Polish national legislation has priority over European legislation, and this is in fact the path followed by a number of countries outside the EU, in particular Russia.
It looks like we are talking, if not about a possible exit from the EU, then at least about a worsening of the liberal-conservative divide within the EU,” Bogatyrev emphasized.
In turn, Ukrainian political scientist Andrey Zolotarev added that trends towards leaving the EU have emerged in Hungary.
“In Hungary they even threw in the term “Hugzit”, this was to be expected, because this is not even a question of economic inequality, but one way or another, the desire of the bureaucrats from Brussels to unify everything, because the people who scare us with the horrors of the Soviet Union do not pay attention to that how bureaucratic everything is in the EU. This inevitably had to come across the stones of Polish and Hungarian clamps,” Zolotarev concluded.
