Latvian MEP Vaidere criticizes Hungarian presidency
The state secretary responsible for international communications and relations has publicly criticized Latvian European People’s Party MEP Inese Vaidere for her recent actions against the Hungarian presidency. In a paid advertisement, Vaidere attacked Hungary’s presidency, prompting Zoltán Kovács to speak out against her on Facebook.
Kovács suggested that Vaidere may have been looking in the wrong direction in recent months, as she seemingly missed important events such as the approval of the European competitiveness pact and the Schengen accession of Romania and Bulgaria. He also pointed out that Hungary has consistently prioritized European Union interests over its own, specifically in the areas of peacekeeping and migration.
Furthermore, Kovács highlighted Hungary’s role in protecting EU borders since 2015, contrasting it with Brussels’ delayed response to border protection. The state secretary’s comments serve as a reminder of Hungary’s commitment to the EU and its efforts to safeguard the union’s interests.
In light of this incident, it is essential to recognize the complexities of international relations and the importance of cooperation among EU member states. As political tensions continue to simmer, it is crucial for representatives to prioritize diplomacy and dialogue in order to maintain unity within the European Union.
