Perhaps a good time to bring up again our proposal with @dimitrispieker.bsky.social and Ulrich Karpenstein on how to suspend Hungary’s voting rights based on a breach of solidarity in CFSP: www.delorscentre.eu/en/publicati...
Good to see @europarl.europa.eu refer to principle of solidarity in its resolution on Hungary calling for triggering of Art. 7(2) TEU. With @dimitrispieker.bsky.social and Ulrich Karpenstein, we argued that new Art. 7 procedure should be initiated against HU based on breaches of solidarity in CFSP
⚖️🌈 The court’s ruling raises serious concerns regarding the sovereignty of member states and constitutional identity. In light of these concerns, the Hungarian government will not implement the ruling, writes Viktor Orbán in a letter, he sent today to the President of the Republic.
A long read on national competences and the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social in the @euconst.bsky.social I tried to make sense of and refute claims that the Court must respect national competences when interpreting substantive EU law (many will be reminded of the “retained powers” formula…).
The CJEU sees the Hungarian anti-LGBTIQ* law as stigmatisation that may foster hateful conduct and thus violates European values.

Orban called Magyar to congratulate Magyar - and admitted defeat to his supporters. It's over. Peter Magyar and his Tisza Party wins with such an overwhelming victory that he has two-thirds of the seats in the parliament and can undo Orban's autocratic legalism!
Hungarians deserve every congratulations for giving Peter Magyar a bigger margin than Orban has ever gotten in all of his rigged elections - and this within the system that Orban rigged. Magyar now has a constitutional majority to undo Orban's constitutional prison and govern as a democratic leader.
