The concordance between the Draghi report and Viktor Orban's previous statements about the deterioration of Europe's competitiveness is significant, he pointed out. The Draghi report sheds light on the structural problems that Viktor Orban had pinpointed years earlier, but his words fell on deaf ears at the time. However, as Draghi is not only Italy’s former prime minister and ex-president of the European Central Bank, but also a genuine Eurocrat, he acknowledges in his proposal that the problem exists, while his reform proposals would throw Europe into debt.
The war in the Middle East, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, spilled over into Europe, as European countries have imported religious-ethnic problems through the mass immigration of Muslims. All of this was clearly visible recently when the fighting in the Middle East prompted pro-Palestinian demonstrations in several major European cities, which often turned into pro-Hamas rallies. This aspect of migration therefore also generates problems in domestic politics as an impact of the Middle East conflict.
The outcome of the US presidential election will also have a major impact on the Middle East conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war. Donald Trump promised peace if elected, while after a victory by Kamala Harris, we can expect a continuation of the war.
The rotating EU presidency and the European Political Community meeting in Budapest provide a great opportunity for speaking out for peace, as all eyes around the world will be turned to Hungary,
the expert highlighted.
Western Europe has repeatedly stated that this war must continue until Ukraine wins, but we do not seem to be getting any closer to this moment. The peace plan designed by China and Brazil has been on the table for quite some time, and Hungary has also consistently called for resolving the conflict on realistic grounds, the expert said.
This meeting will be a good opportunity for Hungary to represent its position before the wider international community,
András Biro underlined.
Informal EU meeting in Hungary
One day after the summit of the European Political Community, Budapest will host the informal meeting of the leaders of EU member states.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend both meetings.
European Council President Charles Michel said the document, which they would like to adopt in Budapest, would be presented at the informal meeting, a day after the summit of the European Political Community.
The declaration to be adopted in Budapest is aimed at boosting Europe's competitiveness.
It aims to increase economic growth and strengthen the competitive position of the member states in the global market. The draft is currently ten pages long, outlining strategic initiatives and cooperation policies to address common economic challenges.
