The boycott is clearly part of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's election campaign.
The college of commissioners, made up of members of the European Commission, will not visit Hungary, the chief spokesperson of the EU commission announced on X on Monday.
Eric Mamer stated in his message that in the light of the "recent developments" of the beginning of the six-month Hungarian presidency of the Council of the European Union, President Ursula von der Leyen has decided that the European Commission will be represented at the informal meetings of the Council of the European Union at the level of senior civil servants.
"There will be no board visit to the college"
the spokesperson added.
Gál Kinga: the boycott is clearly part of Ursula von der Leyen's election campaign
The European Commission has announced that it will boycott the Hungarian EU presidency, which is clearly part of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's election campaign, Gál Kinga, the president of the Fidesz European Parliament (EP) group, wrote on X on Monday.
We are already used to him using EU institutions for political blackmail and pressure, especially against Hungary, he added.
This is unacceptable and goes against the essence of European cooperation
- emphasized Kinga Gál.
