A commemoration honouring 1956 planned in EP to spite Fidesz, while two committees turn down hearing with Szijjártó 😔

The European People's Party (EPP) has proposed a commemoration for the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in the European Parliament, potentially in response to comments made by Balázs Orbán regarding parallels between 1956 and the Ukraine war. The initiative's support is uncertain. Meanwhile, two EP committees are not planning to hear Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, with alternative representatives being rejected. The article discusses the implications of these developments on Hungary's EU presidency and the ongoing tensions between Hungary and the EU.
