Brief description of the contents of the act

Based on the opinion of the Minister of Justice on the European Commission’s decision of 7 September 2021 seeking penalties on Poland in the legal dispute pending before the CJEU over the judicial reform, the Hungarian government issued a resolution to express its solidarity with Poland and to condemn the Commission’s decision. The resolution provides :

“3. Poland – similarly to Hungary – defends the external borders of the European Union and thus protects its internal security. Meanwhile, the European Commission stabs Poland in the back, abuses its power and puts the unity of the EU in danger.

4. Hungary stands by Poland. The government notes that by initiating the imposition of penalties the European Commission violated the principle of national sovereignty because it interfered with the Polish legislative process and with the relationship between the executive power and the judiciary.”
