ECJ ruling on #LexCEU @CEU: You won’t find a single ruling that damns the Bavarian, ES, SK or CZ higher education bills that contain measures similar to our law. Why? Simple: None of the universities in these countries belonged to @GeorgeSoros.Here’s more: https://bit.ly/36Gt6yr 

Double standards, double standards, double standards… The once renowned @FreedomHouse has become a caricature of itself. Read more on the BLOG: https://bit.ly/3lnvle9 

Katarina “starve them out” Barley @katarinabarley strikes again. It’s difficult to decide what’s more alarming: Ms. Barley’s ignorance of actual facts or her complete disregard for the most essential elements of #ruleoflaw in the EU. BLOG: https://bit.ly/34FBcF5 

PM Orbán in a radio interview this morning: “We have had enough of the virus, but the virus hasn’t had enough of us.” Read the summary of the PM’s remarks on the blog: https://bit.ly/34oc2uf 

2/2 Not to mention that the idea of turning access to the #coronavirus fund into a political weapon against Hungary and Poland, at a time when people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake, is downright disgusting.

1/2 Dear @ft, here’s an alternative idea: Let’s come up with an objective definition of the #ruleoflaw, far from the current, left-liberal mantra that’s practically Brussels-speak for blackmailing dissenting member states to fall in line on key policy areas like #migration.https://twitter.com/ftbrussels/status/1311878901891837953 …

2/2 So no apologies – rather changing the text of the interview in retrospect. Sweet. We are more than concerned about #MediaFreedom in #Germany.

1/2 After saying that “Hungary and Poland must be financially starved out” @KatarinaBarley claims to be misquoted by @DLF. In a letter to a liberal HU news portal, she said that she meant to “starve out governments, not countries”.

The day @Twitter suspended our @abouthungary account “by mistake”… I sincerely hope that they will offer some kind of explanation. Here’s the full story on my BLOG: https://bit.ly/2G7Vij3 

2/2 The position of HU gov't is clear: Europe is in crisis and we must resolve this crisis. Rule of law debates cannot be allowed to slow down the establishment of the emergency fund.

1/2 PM Orbán prior to #EUsummit: If the debate about tying rule of law to EU finances would delay the establishment of the EU's Coronavirus fund, then it's possible to make bilateral deals, outside the EU framework.

Which part of your German know-how would you like to use if it's about starving out, Ms @katarinabarley ? The one that comes from Stalingrad, Leningrad or Warsaw? @DLF @SPDEuropa

2/2 ... the beautiful new world has finally arrived, in which tech giants are silencing those who hold different opinions. We have taken the necessary steps and are awaiting an official explanation from Twitter.

1/2 The official account of the Hungarian Government, @AboutHungary, has been suspended by @Twitter without any warning or explanation. This is extremely interesting in view of the fact that the @EU_Commission will publish its first rule of law report today. It seems that...

No one should be surprised at the factually flawed and sadly biased nature of the debate surrounding Hungary when “journalists” like @the_langow simply refuse to even listen to the other side. Here’s my response that @Tagesspiegel refused to print: https://bit.ly/3n57lye 

2/2 Members of the Commission are members of a distinguished team who are supposed to be guardians of the treaties, not political partisans in a Europe that is increasingly weakened by partisan division. If @VeraJourova  cannot rise above, then she must resign.
