BUDAPEST, Dec 20 (Reuters) – The launch of the European Commission’s action against Poland over judicial reforms violates Poland’s sovereignty and Hungary will veto it, Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen said on Wednesday.
Semjen told national news agency MTI that it was unacceptable that Brussels was exerting pressure on a sovereign member state.
“The Polish-Hungarian friendship and the Hungarian government’s commitment to treaties obliges us to step up against the Commission’s step in all forums,” Semjen was quoted as saying. When asked if this could mean that Hungary would veto the proposed action against Poland, he said yes, MTI reported. (Reporting by Krisztina Than and Gergely Szakacs)
