János Bóka, EU affairs minister, has summarized Hungary’s expectations of the Ursula von der Leyen-led European Commission after 100 days of the EC president’s second term.
In a Facebook post modelled after the list of demands of the Hungarian revolutionaries of 1848, Minister Bóka put in first place the freedom of the press and scrapping the censorship of online content and the "hegemony of opinion".
Second and third on the list were the establishment of "responsible" institutions in Brussels and a European Parliament "without a cordon sanitaire".
Minister Bóka promotes in the fourth and fifth points equality before the law for every EU member state and "an unhindered operation of our national guards in protecting our borders and stopping illegal migration".
The sixth was a common agricultural policy and the seventh a stoppage "of exerting ideological and political pressure".
Ensuring national sovereignty was point eight, competitive nations and a competitive Europe was the ninth.
As the tenth point, Minister Bóka said that "civil groups should take an oath to the constitution" and "foreign political financing should be taken away from them".
The 11th point was the unfreezing of the EU funds Hungary is entitled to.
In the final point, Minister Bóka said: "Union, but without Ukraine".
"Equality, liberty, fraternity!" the minister said, concluding his post.
