The new chief executive officer of Hungary’s largest lender called for the adoption of the euro and for an end to ad-hoc policymaking under Prime Minister Viktor Orban that has sapped investor confidence and dented valuations.
⚖️ The rule of law is the cornerstone of our democracies.
Today we published the 2025 Rule of Law Report, assessing justice systems, anti-corruption efforts, media freedom, and institutional checks across all EU countries.
The Report shows progress but also highlights work still needed to protect our democracy, fundamental rights, and economy.
Together with EU countries, we are working to protect the rule of law for people, for business and for Europe’s future.
There is no rule of law in Hungary! Maja, a non-binary person who was abducted from Germany to Hungary, has been on hunger strike for over a month.
Instead of releasing Maja from custody, it is now being considered to insert a pacemaker into Maja in order to be able to continue the show trial! Act at last, Commission President von der Leyen!
Denmark wants Europe to deploy its full legal arsenal against Hungary over violations of the bloc’s fundamental rights, including by pursuing the Article 7 so-called nuclear option against Budapest.

Achievement unlocked: Got to #Budapest#Pride by bike without GPS. 
Friends who were in contact with organizers say there were about 400.000 people. I'll write about it tomorrow, right now I'm exhausted as heck.
Oh and some fascists tried to block the bridge we wanted to march on. They had about two dozen people. 
Hell, even if the cops tried to shut it down (and many of them seemed to be enjoying the parade just like everyone else), I doubt they could take 400.000 people.
Trying to ban Pride in #Hungary was the biggest mistake #Orban made in a while.
Meanwhile, #Orbán is suffering from the Streisand effect.
