Zlyhanie a hanba, ktoré nejde prekričať ani bagatelizovať. Slovensku hrozí maďarský scenár zmrazenia eurofondov - KOMENTÁR
Európsky parlament (EP) urobil 29. apríla 2026 krok, akému Slovensko za 22 rokov členstva v Európskej únii (EÚ) ešte nečelilo. Vyzval Európsku komisiu (EK), aby zvážila spustenie mechanizmu podmienenosti právnym štátom, ktorý môže viesť až k zmrazeniu eurofondov. Presne takýto postup Únia použila v roku 2022 voči Maďarsku.
Ide o miliardy. Slovensko potrebuje transparentnú vládu, povedal Zdechovský po schválení výzvy na stopnutie eurofondov
Reakcia môže byť tvrdá „Preto sme dnes vyzvali Komisiu na možné zmrazenie eurofondov pre Slovensko,“ napísal Zdechovský na platforme X po prijatí uznesenia, podľa ktorého majú europoslanci obavy o stav právneho štátu a fungovanie demokratických inštitúcií na Slovensku. Výzva voči Komisii bola v pléne europarlamentu odobrená výraznou väčšinou. Zároveň doplnil, že ak sa preukáže systémové zneužívanie prostriedkov EÚ, reakcia môže byť tvrdá a následky by niesli občania Slovenska.

Orbán’s war on Europe – and how the EU can fight back
For the first time in years, Viktor Orbán has reason to worry about an election. Polls are tightening and Peter Magyar — a former Fidesz insider — has emerged as a serious challenger. This is an unfamiliar and unsettling situation for Orbán — a leader who spent years reshaping Hungary´s institutions in his favour, dismantling democratic checks and balances along the way.
Izlaz iz blokade
Sasvim je moguće da Viktor Orbán trenutno često noću leži budan. Ne zato što se bavi dubokim filozofskim pitanjima o demokratiji. Ne, prvi put nakon više godina, mađarski premijer i lider vladajuće stranke Fidesz ima razloga za brigu zbog izbora. Ankete daju sve približnije rezultate, opozicija dobija na zamahu, a Péter Magyar – bivši član Fidesza – razvio se u ozbiljnog izazivača.
Raus aus der Blockade: Orbáns Macht eingrenzen
Gut möglich, dass Viktor Orbán derzeit nachts oft wach liegt. Nicht, weil er sich mit tiefgründigen philosophischen Fragen zur Demokratie auseinandersetzt. Nein, zum ersten Mal seit Jahren hat der ungarische Ministerpräsident und Vorsitzende der regierenden Fidesz-Partei Grund, sich Sorgen wegen einer Wahl zu machen. Die Umfragen fallen immer knapper aus, die Opposition spürt Aufwind, und Peter Magyar – ein ehemaliger Fidesz-Insider – hat sich zu einem ernstzunehmenden Herausforderer entwickelt.
EU membership comes with obligations The aim is not to isolate Hungary. It is to prevent one government from hollowing out European standards from within
These days, Viktor Orbán might be lying awake at night — but that’s not because he’s wrestling with deep philosophical questions about democracy. No, for the first time in years, the Hungarian prime minister and chair of the ruling Fidesz party, has reason to worry about an election. Polls are tightening, opposition energy is building, and Peter Magyar, a former Fidesz insider, has emerged as a serious challenger.
