Leaders of four major European Parliament factions have included a resolution that is a clear attack on Poland and Hungary in their project concerning fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
The resolution was authored by the European People’s Party (EPP), the socialists, Greens, and the Renew Europe group and criticizes Polish authorities for organizing elections in May.
Manfred Weber (EPP), Itraxe Garcia Perez (socialists), Renew Europe leader Dacian Ciolos and Phillippe Lamberts (Greens) signed the project.

According to unofficial information, the project will be voted on in the next European Parliament session. It includes a chapter concerning rule of law and a fragment of the text refers to Poland and Hungary.
The authors are disappointed by the “decision of the Hungarian government to extend the state of emergency indefinitely and permitting the government to issues decrees indefinitely.”
Hungarian government spokesperson Zoltán Kovács, writing for Politico, underlined that international media has grossly mischaracterized the state of emergency:
The law clearly limits the government’s ability to ‘rule by decree.’ It serves exclusively to prevent, treat, eradicate and remedy the harmful effects of the pandemic. The government may not impose laws by decree unrelated to that purpose.
