"Wherever we set the bar, we are ready to deliver," said the government commissioner responsible for implementing Hungary's EU presidency. He noted that
they are preparing for a technical presidency and that fewer cultural programs will be organized
because the programs did not yield the extra expected value they wanted to offer. They are not preparing large-scale cultural events, but there will be conferences and performing and visual arts events. Zoltan Kovacs called it encouraging that this year's data suggest that 2024 could be a record year for tourism, and that the presidency will take place during the peak tourist season.
What is the main task set for Hungary's presidency?
MEP Eniko Gyori emphasized that
the Hungarian presidency will focus on strengthening competitiveness, as it is "in our interest that the European economy should be as strong as possible, because if the German market is ailing, we cannot advance fast enough either".
The cohesion and agricultural policies are under serious attack, and there is a clear intention to "do away with them", which is a consequence of ideology-driven leadership, she said.
She recalled that during Hungary's EU presidency in 2011, the country was in a much worse state in terms of infrastructure than it is today. At that time, economic recovery was considered the most important issue, and they wanted to show the Central European features of Hungarians and that "our Roma compatriots were important to us. We were also able to fight for the accession of our neighbor Croatia, acting also in the interest of Europe," the MEP recalled.
