European Commission should not interfere in law enforcement affairs of Member States

The European Commission should refrain from interfering in the law enforcement affairs of Member States where it has no role to play, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on X on Wednesday evening, responding to a post by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. 

The President of the Commission, too, posted her message on X in which she called upon the Hungarian authorities to allow the Budapest Pride to go ahead. In his reply, Mr Orbán wrote: “Dear Madam President, I urge the European Commission to refrain from interfering in the law enforcement affairs of Member States, where it has no role to play. I also call on the Commission to focus its efforts on the pressing challenges facing the European Union—areas where it does have a clear role and responsibility, and where it has made serious mistakes in recent years, such as the energy crisis and the erosion of European competitiveness,” the Prime Minister wrote in his post.
