• EU The Constitutional of Poland blows up the European legal order

It was a matter of time before the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, pronounced on the ruling of the Constitutional Court of Poland, giving precedence to national laws over community laws, as it was foreseeable that he justified it.

Hungary has several open fronts with the European Union for undermining

, like Poland, the rule of law.

"The European Union is striving to withdraw powers from member states without a treaty and it

is natural for states to resist,"

Orban said through a government resolution signed by him and broadcast through the state news agency MTI.

"The objective (of Brussels) is to gradually expand its powers by withdrawing the powers that the member states never yielded to the EU and without changing the treaties," the statement said.

For the Orban government, "the constitutional courts and the courts of the Member States are very well empowered to review the scope and limits of the powers of the EU", so the decision of the Polish TC the first thing that hints is that it

was the result of the "bad practice of the European institutions".

Orban is the first European leader to take a stand with Poland and therefore against France, Germany and the European Commission, for which there is no doubt that

the EU legal system prevails over national laws

and is mandatory.

Hungary's positioning is not surprising. Orban and his Polish

counterpart

,

Jaroslaw Kazcinsky

, Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) share ultra-nationalist ideology and dock in the EU. Both have promoted reforms that clash with the principles and values ​​that make the EU more than a free trade area and

both resort to the same defense strategy

, threatening to veto measures that require unanimity in the European Council.

The European Commission, however, seems ready on this occasion to put an end to the blackmail.

According to the German economic daily

Handelsblatt,

President Ursula von der Leyen is in negotiations to try to apply for the first time the rule of law mechanism, which will condition, among others, access to millionaire funds for reconstruction after the coronavirus pandemic.

In the case of Hungary, according to the same sources,

Brussels will use against Budapest the allegations about embezzlement

and corruption that it has been collecting since the beginning of the year.

Orban will be informed of the step to be taken by the EU this month.
