The
European People’s Party (EPP, centre-right grouping of EU political parties)
would make a serious mistake if its leaders decide against the expulsion from
the group of Viktor Orbán’s party, Fidesz.
Recently,
Fidesz and above all, its leader, the Prime Minister of Hungary, have launched
a vicious campaign against Jean-Claude Juncker, who is a prominent member of
the EPP family. That’s not only incomprehensible but is also totally unacceptable,
as the campaign is tainted by lies and inspired by anti-Semitic sentiments. Basically,
Orbán tries to draw dividends from his fabrications against George Soros. He wants
to extend the negative image he has managed to build of Soros to the President
of the European Commission. Orbán’s tactics consist in inventing an enemy and
then concentrate the voters’ attention on destroying such person.
It
is politics without any type of scruples. The man is very dangerous.
That
comes in addition to Orbán’s domestic crusades against the freedom of the press,
the autonomy of the academic institutions and his repeated attacks against the
independence of the NGOs.
He
does not belong to the centre-right politics. He is an extremist. Therefore, he
should join the extreme right circles. The sooner that message is sent to him,
and all, the better.
