Globalists have proven themselves repeatedly to be authoritarian tyrants, unhesitatingly purveying propaganda to justify their positions. Soon after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban won a landslide victory, the EU was frothing with rage. As the EU is unhappy with the election results, it is preparing to sanction Hungary.
Yes, sanction Hungary over a democratically held election.
This is an indication that globalist totalitarianism is becoming more desperate and aggressive. Who could imagine sanctioning a country over an election outcome?
The major sticking points for the EU are Hungary’s longstanding refusal to accept open-door Muslim migration, as well as its refusal to allow LGBTQ indoctrination in school curricula for kids under 18. LGBTQ rights already exist in Hungary. See more HERE.
The propaganda that globalists in the EU and America use against those who they deem to be enemies is just part of their tactical aggression. Their strategy is repetitious and predictable. They call opponents “corrupt” without any clear reason for doing so, and lie about their own corruption by calling everything exposed about them “Russian disinformation” and the like. They label opponents as Putin props, as is the case with Orban, even though Orban stated in February that Hungary will support all EU sanctions against Russia “and will not block anything.”
“Hungary could lose out as EU moves to link cash to rule of law respect,” by Alice Tidey, EuroNews, April 5, 2022:
Brussels has triggered a process in Hungary that threatens to link the payment of EU cash to respect for rule of law.
It comes two days after Viktor Orban, secured a fifth — and fourth consecutive — term as Hungary’s prime minister.
Orban has clashed frequently with the European Commission over respect for key EU values, such as LGBT rights, rule of law and attacks on independent media.
Now, the European Commission has notified Budapest it is triggering the so-called “conditionality mechanism” over rule of law breaches, opening the door to financial sanctions.
“The Commission has today spoken to the Hungarian authorities that we will now send a formal letter to start the conditionality mechanism,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told MEPs.
Earlier in her address, Von der Leyen had said that the European Commission required Budapest to implement reforms to tackle corruption.
However, she noted that the two sides have “not been able to find common ground”.
She added that the Commission has followed the procedure as laid out by treaties by addressing a letter of formal notice and later referring the case to the European Court of Justice and that upon receiving Hungary’s answers, they drew the “conclusion we have to move on to the next step”.
MEPs in Strasbourg, who have long demanded the EU’s executive proceed with the new mechanism, cheered the announcement with a round of applause.
Daniel Freund, an MEP for the Greens/EFA group, welcomed it by writing on Twitter: “It’s happening. FINALLY!”
But German Green MEP, Rasmus Andresen, told Euronews that the rule of law mechanism should have been triggered sooner.
“One of the reasons why Orbán is as strong as he is, is because many in Brussels had not learnt lessons in the past and actually supported him in the past and now we really need to speed up on issues like the rule of law mechanism, but also when it comes to other sanctions we can do against Hungary and Viktor Orbán,” Andresen said.
MEPs first approved the rule of law mechanism regulation in December 2020, followed by intense haggling at then European Council level, with Hungary and Poland both demanding it to be watered down and threatening to veto the bloc’s budget over it.
The two countries then referred the mechanism to the ECJ, which ruled in February that EU institutions could tie funding to member states to respect for the rule of law.
On Sunday, Orban’s Fidesz party secured 53% of the vote and a two-thirds “supermajority” in parliament.
Orban, who has built his career on EU-bashing, had described his victory on Sunday evening as ” so big that you can see it from the moon, and you can certainly see it from Brussels.”…

The EU is a narcissistic organization riddled with little dictators running around looking to punish anyone who dares to say “no”. I don’t happen to believe in World domination conspiracies. Rich people want more wealth, as usual. Power hungry people want more power. Religious zealots look down on everybody else and wish that they suffer. Idealists ruin the World by replacing one dictator for a flock of little dictators who will keep their promises to you or else, you ignorant peasants. It’s eerie how the EU mirrors some of the same patterns for disaster that helped bring an end to another union of nations, the one Putin wants back.on the World map. He fantasizes about it. Along with renaming cities after himself and his alter egos.
Putingrad and Stalloneskia.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
This article is unusually uninformative.
[1] “key EU values, such as LGBT rights, rule of law and attacks on independent media”: a key EU value is attacks on independent media?
[2] The “conditionality mechanism” is not explained.
[3] No is “the rule of law mechanism” described.
[4] “The ECJ” is not described, or even spelled out.

Mark, I think this is intentional–if you don’t know the jargon, you can’t be part of the conversation.
For the first, I think they mean that attacks on independent media are *not* an EU value–but this Freudian slip was probably right the first time.
As for the “conditionality mechanism” and the “rule of law mechanism”, that is here:
“Regulation 2020/2092[1] on a general regime of conditionality for the protection of the EU budget came into force on 1 January 2021. It created a horizontal ‘conditionality mechanism’ that made Member States’ access to funds from the EU budget conditional on respect for the principles of the rule of law.”
https://www.realinstitutoelcano.org/en/analyses/the-new-conditionality-mechanism-for-the-protection-of-the-eu-budget-does-the-cjeu-judgement-give-the-all-clear/#:~:text=Regulation%202020%2F2092%5B1%5D,of%20the%20rule%20of%20law.
It looks as though they are threatening Hungary with a loss of funding because they are not “politically correct” enough.
The ECJ is the European Court of Justice–presumably they are legally threatening Hungary for having elections that lead to outcomes they frown upon.

This lack of information and clarity is also typical of Robert Spencer’s articles. I think it is just laziness.
Islamonauseoic says
Don’t get me wrong. I am an avid anti-Muslim and welcome the wealth of information provided in these articles and the convenience of finding all of this information in one place rather than having to hunt for it myself on the internet. However, the quality of Robert Spencer’s writing in these articles is, sadly, not of the level that I found in his books.
gravenimage says
What absolute crap. For one thing, this article is by Christine Douglass-Williams, not Robert Spencer. Who is lazy now?
Then, the article cited above is from Euro News, this is *not* original Jihad Watch content. Again, how are you too lazy to have noticed this?
Then, I have seen only three comments here at Jihad Watch from you, and two of them are complaining that Robert Spencer does not supply you with even more freebies. Good grief…
Westman says
It’s not difficult to see the crumbling of the EU in motion. The Brits are out and Hungary will have to choose. The EU leadership’s extortion of Hungary is a new low. The justifications for forcing “immigrants” on Hungary are highly flawed.

Thought:
Is Nature a predictor? This is just an observation as a thought experiment, not to be taken seriously: It’s known that today’s wildly varied dogs had a common genetic ancestor – the Wolf. If today’s dogs reproduce at random, then the wolf characteristics begin to return. Would continuous random matings of humans re-create an earlier version of humans?
If so, then aren’t today’s various languages and ethnic practices actually the best for the human groups that developed them? It seems a bit of a chicken-egg problem. Are languages developed by a culture or does the language develop the culture? EndOfThought

The idea that a society constructed of self-homogenous, uniquely ethno-linguistic, states would have equality is a globalist/communist pipe dream. Some EU states are poor some are rich. Translators are required for communication. The rich run the show. Cohesive?

Yes, sanction Hungary over a democratically held election.

I just emailed Viktor Orban. If you agree with him, good to let him know that people in other countries are on his side and wishing him great success.

I believe Hungary will survive for several good reasons.
Doomer says
A multipolar world has appeared, where American hegemony ( based on the US dollar) has ended.
1. China,India and Russia ( and later on others) will trade between themselves paying with yuens, rubles, rupees, bitcoin, gold. No euros or dollars.
They will use,if they wish, US dollars with nations outside the economic block,which they call the FAIR WORLD order.
In contrast to the GLOBALIST dream ( of Soros, Klaus Schwab,Obama, Zuckerberg, Bezos,Bill Gates)
of establishing a New World Order,also called the GREAT RESET.
For example: China will continue to trade with the US in dollars.
2. In time,other nations will join the Fair World Order:Syria,Iran,Irak,Paksitan,Sri Lanka,Brazil,Mexico,etc).
3. The antiwar Left has a pathological hatred of Israel ( Fiorella Isabel, Jimmy Dore, Gary Galloway, Richard Medhurst, Abby Martin, Aaron Mate) but it supports the emergence of the
Multipolar World as a way to stop imperialism,colonialism. The call it the AXIS of RESISTANCE.
Recently Zelensky gave a speech to the GREEK parliament: and he included 2 OTHER speakers,both were neo-nazis,Azov soldiers.One was masked,the other not.
Many Greek MPs left,and they later publicly denounced speeches by neo-Nazis to the Greek parliament.
The antiwar Left says it is further proof Zelensky is NOT really the ruler, he just says and does what Azov, Aiden, C-14 and Right Sector ( all white supremacist, fascist groups).
Also,the ex-leader of the Ukrainian Socialist Party, ILYA KIVA, who has always been known to be a sincere patriot, has declared the massacre at BUCHA was
done by the Ukrainian Secret Police,it is a FALSE FLAG. And that he has evidence,copies of which were sent to Russia. The antiwar Left has good arguments,based on evidence, that is was the Ukrainians.
Lastly, the US has the BIGGEST debt of any nation: 31 trillion, and
Every Year it acquires 1 TRILLION dollars more of debt, non-stop.
And the same for countries in Europe,GREECE has a debt of 350 BILLION in dollars. The multipolar world means the euro and dollar will collapse in value.
Russia received a Shock and Wave series of sanctions meant to destroy its economy,it has withstood. In spite of 260 BILLION dollars of Russia ( half it total money) being stolen from it by the US government.
THAT shocked the non-Western world, and makes those countries eager to NOT have their reserves in dollars.
Doomer says
Alex Christoforou ( Conservative) who lives in Athens, is bilingual ( Greek,English)
made a video where he talks about the neo-Nazi speaker brought by Zelensky 2 days ago:
“Zelensky brings shocking guest speaker to Greek Parliament performance. Update 2”

Wait–you believe that Muslim hell holes like Iran and Pakistan are “fair”, but hate the United States and cheer her (supposed) immanent economic failure?
Then, you have claimed many times here that Ukraine defending herself against Russian invasion is “fascist”.
You have also lauded Jihadists here, including “The Electronic Intifada”. Not sure why you are posting at Jihad Watch at all.

Meanwhile, Germans are moving to Hungary in record numbers to escape the muslim migration madness.
Voting with their feet…

Your picture is the epitome of the very depths of the Eurofilth and the reason Britain left them to wallow in their own muck. One thing I guarantee as the financial noose tightens and Germany only picks up the bills that Britain used to, they will get worse in Brussels. In a macabre sense, Putin is doing us all a favour long term. NO I am NO supporter of the Russian dictator/killer
