At least one part of the EU has finally realised it's impossible to work with the abusive regime in Hungary...

You can't cooperate with a member state where rule of law has no meaning.

Remember, the Hungarian ruling party's hate-driven lawlessness that forced Frontex to make this decision has been supported for years by the European People's Party.

The @EPP/@EPPGroup helped their partner Fidesz as it created a dictatorship in Hungary.
The EU is no longer a club of exclusively democracies.

And the creation of the dictatorship in Hungary has been supported by the European People's Party,
@EPP/@EPPGroup, ally of Hungary's ruling party Fidesz for years.

In today's episode of, "the European People's Party helps its dictator ally in Hungary", a new delaying tactic: a "task force". 🙄

The @EPP could have decided to #ExpelFidesz at any point for years. They continued backing it instead.

I was worried it might be a new committee or an advisory group, but a task force... Wow! That really shows they mean business now! This isn't a way for the EPP to continue supporting the dictatorship it helped take hold in EU member Hungary. No, not at all. A task force, people!
People, people... Why isn't this sinking in? It's a task force! A TASK FORCE! This is HUUUUUGE!

It may even lead to guidelines!

Trump's far-right allies in Europe are shocked, shocked I tell you, that hatred and extremism can lead to violence. It had nothing to do with Trump's incitement of his followers or the Republican Party's four years of full support for a demagogue. 🙄

So, when is the European People's Party @epp going to stop supporting & promoting its pro-Trump ally, Fidesz, the ruling party of the extremist dictatorship in Hungary?

Any thoughts @donaldtuskEPP?

Or @ManfredWeber?

#ExpelFidesz
Ruling-party controlled media in Hungary have falsely accused the US Democratic Party of organising the #TrumpRiots.

The ruling party in Hungary, Fidesz, is part of the European People's Party umbrella group here.

@epp has backed their ally for years.

Hungary's dictatorship hates this #BlackLivesMatter artwork in Budapest...

...because of course it does.

As always, the ruling party is loud & proud about its extremist & hate-driven mentality.

When your dictator sounds like a extreme-right mass murderer, what else does anyone expect?
Remember the European People's Party @EPP - including @ManfredWeber, @vonderleyen, @donaldtuskEPP, Merkel and others - is the pan-European umbrella group that has consistently supported & promoted the creation of a dictatorship in EU member state Hungary.

Senior EPP officials pretending to be angry at their long-time ally, Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

Here's how you can tell it's fake: "senior officials declined to go on the record with their threats"
politico.eu/article/epp-vi…
Let's review how the @epp has backed Orbán's consolidation of dictatorship in Hungary for years...
All the times the European People's Party, @EPP, could have decided to #ExpelFidesz over the Hungarian ruling party's destruction of democracy in an EU member state...

...and all the times the EPP refused to do so.

It’s sometimes hard to describe to people just how disgusting and extremist Hungary’s dictatorship is. You can only show them the regime's words and hope they understand the deep depravity of things like belittling the Holocaust… with anti-Semitism…
This anti-Semitic belittling of the Holocaust is supported by the EU-wide alliance known as the European People’s Party, @epp.

Merkel: EPP.
@donaldtuskEPP: EPP.
@vonderleyen: EPP.
@ManfredWeber: EPP.
Dictator Viktor Orbán: EPP.
Hate is central to the dictatorship in Hungary. And it comes right from the top.

And Orbán's allies in the EU, the European People's Party, @epp, have been central to normalising his extremism in Europe.

Here's the chief propagandist of the Orbán regime in Hungary taking a break from his normal anti-Semitic rants to quote his dear leader...

As in every dictatorship, the ruler of Hungary has the delusion that he is the people and the law.
Meanwhile, on the @EPPGroup website right now, they are promoting their ally, the authoritarian ruling party of Hungary, which is currently trying to destroy democracy in the EU.

How long does it take for the @EPP to decide that they’re for democracy and not authoritarianism? They’ve been dithering for years on such a fundamental question? Seriously? Just #ExpelFidesz already.
Note, former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel was a member of the 3-man panel. He’s best known for twice forming coalition governments with the hate-mongering, far-right Freedom Party. No way the panel would ever do anything but give a pass to hate-mongering, far-right Orbán
The other thing that tells you the @EPP’s “wise men” panel was never anything more than whitewash job is this: Orbán got to pick his own judges...

OK, let’s spend a minute in a thread to explain why the @EU_commission’s decision to put migration under a portfolio named, "Protecting our European Way of Life," is a dangerous mainstreaming of far-right ideas.
@EU_Commission The phrase is very similar to terms used by hate-merchants like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who uses phrases like this to scare Hungarians about migrants & pretends to protect voters against the fake threat he’s invented.
@EU_Commission It’s the typical us-vs-them demagoguery and demonization of minority groups we see in the rhetoric of all far-right groups in Europe.
