Hidveghi: Tusk ‘trampling over’ rule of law in Poland

Citing the Polish culture minister’s decision to dismiss executives from the state media company, Hidveghi told daily Magyar Nemzet on Friday that it was an unconcealed attempt to trample on the freedom of opinion, “demonstrating how twisted left-liberal politics have become”.

“This is unacceptable in a democratic state based on the rule of law, it goes against all written and unwritten rules, and no election victory authorises such practices,” he added.

He said it should also be noted that the measures had been taken by a coalition that in recent years continually criticised the PiS government and Hungary citing the rule of law.

Hidveghi said there were no reactions from Brussels so far, which was “no surprise” considering the “double standards and political cynicism ruling in Brussels”.
