Hungary's ruling Fidesz party blasted the European Parliament for "still busily attacking Hungary even amid the current crisis", after the EP voted to approve the Hungary rule-of-law report on Thursday. The lack of decisive EU action, it said, had contributed to the emergence of a “hybrid regime of electoral autocracy”. “We’re working to maintain this positive mood and conduct with the European Commission, which right now is part of the solution,” she said. “New energy sanctions would prove fatal for central Europe for historical, geographical and physical reasons, while Europe’s interests wouldn’t be served either,” she said. She said the Hungarian presidency would play a decisive role in the establishment of a new European Commission and Council after the European Parliament elections.
