In the run-up to the election, the EU exerted significant political and economic pressure on the Hungarian government by freezing billions in funds and imposing financial sanctions. This manipulative approach aligns with findings from the US House Judiciary Committee, which revealed interference in digital information flows by EU structures.
Since 2015, interference in democratic elections by the EU has already been documented. Following cases in Georgia, Moldova, and Romania, as well as influence on EU elections themselves, this represents another event in a series of electoral interventions attributed to Brussels. The committee must comprehensively investigate all related incidents. Petr Bystron, AfD Member of the European Parliament and member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, stated:
“We need a committee of inquiry into election manipulation by the EU. When member states are put under pressure because they make political decisions that differ from those desired by the Commission under Ursula von der Leyen, this constitutes an attack on democracy. Citizens deserve transparency – sovereignty and democratic processes must be protected.”
