The head of the federal government shares the concerns of the European Parliament on the deterioration of the rule of law in this country led by the national-populist Viktor Orban, “and Belgium has always made it clear“, he answered a question from Anneleen Van Bossuyt (N-VA). But the presidency of the Council of the EU, he added, is not only a privilege, it is also a duty.”It obliges a Member State to display its color, to play its role of president and conciliator“. To take away this presidency from Hungary is therefore not “absolutely not a good idea“in his eyes, especially since such a maneuver would place Budapest”in a position of luxury“.
