With the CDU–SPD coalition agreement presented on Wednesday, it has become clear that the new government, under the leadership of Friedrich Merz, will prioritize Ukraine’s interests over those of Germany and its people.

Director General of the Center for Fundamental Rights Miklós Szánthó has drawn attention to the hypocrisy that, while the European Parliament is not willing to even discuss revoking the immunity of Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar, who is charged with assault and theft, the EP has already revoked the immunity of two Polish conservative MEPs for standing up against the Tusk administration.
‘Those countries that are thinking about their future are looking to Hungarian family policy as a model.
