Brussels' lectures strengthen far right

The three treaty violation proceedings against Hungary above all strengthen the right-wing extremists, writes the conservative daily Magyar Nemzet: "The mutual accusations cannot go on indefinitely. But basically what we're seeing is the following: the European Union currently has no trust in Hungary. It doesn't believe Hungary will emerge from the deep economic crisis, and it questions our belief in democratic values. Of course you can get mad about that, but it's better to clarify these reservations. Quite apart from the fact that now is really not the time for sulking. ... It cannot be in the interest of the EU to force Hungary to its knees and spank its behind for all to see. ... The pedantic tone from Brussels is only grist to the mill of the radicals who burn EU flags in public. Is that really what you want, my dear Sirs?"
