Hungarian Conservative

In the last decade, both Poland and Hungary have been actively formulating European policy; however, this duo is not strong enough without the active support of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is also a warning sign that the loudest criticisms of Hungary and Poland can often be heard from inside the V4.

Here is the reason why the Commission is being more ‘woke than the wokest’ and why it is taking sides in a divisive debate that tears apart a large swathe of the political class in Europe.

Hungary as a member state has the right to decide what it wants to teach in schools and how it defines family. It is alright for Hungary to say that ‘this is our politics and nobody is forced to live in Hungary’.

Dissatisfaction with the Commission’s performance has grown and is still growing; even member states that have been pillars of EU integration, such as Austria, Germany, and Sweden, have expressed their dissatisfaction.

The juristocratic turn in Europe is a particular challenge to conservative parties, a part of the political spectrum traditionally attached to the authority of politics, and the customs and cultural heritage of society.

The societal offensive undertaken by the European Commission must be contextualized within a more subtle mutation, implicit in the recent history of the Old Continent.
