The Hungarian government will not support any action against Poland, government office chief Janos Lazar said at his weekly press briefing on Thursday, according to Hungarian news agency MTI.
The party groups that form a majority in the European Parliament on Wednesday adopted a resolution on the rule of law in Poland, and started preparations for the invocation of Article 7 of the EU Treaty. "Launching a procedure of this kind is out of the question," Lazar said. The European Parliament has attacked Poland and Polish independence while stepping beyond and abusing its powers, Lazar said. "Budapest is prepared to take every possible step to help Warsaw," he said.
Hungary stands by its position that the European Commission should contribute to the costs of the fence Hungary installed along its border with Serbia at the onset of the migration crisis, Lazar said.
