European Commission to partly boycott Hungary's presidency

Brussels has reacted to Viktor Orban’s “peace mission” to Moscow by snubbing Hungary’s six months as European Council president. It will only send civil servants, not Commissioners, to meetings chaired by Hungary.

The executive arm of the EU in Brussels is partially boycotting Hungary’s six-month stint holding the bloc’s rotating presidency, in response to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s self-styled “peace mission” that he embarked on after taking up the position at the start of the month.

In the first days of Hungary’s presidency, Orban visited Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing, and Washington for a NATO summit, and then Donald Trump in Florida.

The trip to Kyiv was Orban’s first since Russia’s invasion, despite Hungary bordering Ukraine.

He called the trip a peace mission and tried to portray himself as one of the “very few” EU and NATO heads of government still able to hold productive talks in Moscow and negotiate with all sides.

So if Orban is being ostracized all over the EU why doesnt that prejudice carry across the pond? He literally came here directly after the Putin putz.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The executive arm of the EU in Brussels is partially boycotting Hungary’s six-month stint holding the bloc’s rotating presidency, in response to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s self-styled “peace mission” that he embarked on after taking up the position at the start of the month.

In the first days of Hungary’s presidency, Orban visited Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing, and Washington for a NATO summit, and then Donald Trump in Florida.

He called the trip a peace mission and tried to portray himself as one of the “very few” EU and NATO heads of government still able to hold productive talks in Moscow and negotiate with all sides.

“The College visit to the Presidency will not take place,” Mamer added, referring to a six-monthly meeting that usually brings all or most of the 27 Commissioners together in the capital of the country holding the rotating role.

Hungary responded critically to Monday’s announcement, arguing that Brussels was effectively playing favorites when the point of the rotating presidency is for all members to have a stint at the helm.

There is a European Council President, currently Charles Michel, whose job it is to help coordinate and reach consensus in these talks, and also to liaise and negotiate with the other EU institutions.
