EU parliament to challenge Hungary’s EU presidential abilities. A draft parliamentary resolution indicates that on Thursday, the European Parliament will question Hungary’s eligibility to hold the rotating presidency of the 27-nation EU next year due to the country’s rule of law issues.

The EU presidency organizes and chairs EU government minister and preparatory body meetings and represents EU governments to other EU institutions and international organizations.
The parliament will claim that Hungary’s many disagreements with the EU will make it impossible for the presidency to drive EU legislation as an honest and unbiased broker.

“The Parliament questions how Hungary is able to fulfil this task credibly in 2024 in view of incompliance with EU law and the values enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union as well as the principle of sincere cooperation,” the draft resolution, to be adopted on June 1, said.

Hungary will lead the EU from July to December 2024, per a 2016 agreement. A calendar shift is unprecedented due to a country’s rule of law issues.
Hungary and the EU have clashed on the rule of law, high-level corruption, judicial independence, academic freedoms, and LGBTQ rights. Concerned about Budapest, the EU has blocked billions of euros.

The Hungarian government has been negotiating with the EU for years, but progress has been slow.

EU states decide whether to postpone or terminate Hungary’s presidency.
