Wednesday, \u201c<\/b>after a decision<\/a>\u00a0of the European People\u2019s Party Presidency (EPP) together with Fidesz,\u201d the Political Assembly of the EPP voted to immediately\u00a0suspend Fidesz\u2019s membership. A three-member evaluation committee has been appointed to monitor whether Fidesz meets the conditions of the joint proposal. As a result, a great debate has erupted in Hungary regarding whether Fidesz\u2019s suspension was orchestrated by the EPP or whether the party \u201cunilaterally\u201d chose to temporarily stop \u201cexercising its rights.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Each party has used the opportunity to spread its own narrative. While the EPP claims it suspended Fidesz\u2019s membership and withdrew its rights, Fidesz insists it solved the problem by recommending its own suspension.<\/p>\n

Was it possible to please everyone?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prior to the Political Assembly, it was difficult to determine the vote\u2019s outcome as the political interests of the various parties and political figures were dizzyingly diverse.<\/p>\n

For those who called for Fidesz\u2019s expulsion \u2013 a total of 13 parties from ten, primarily liberal, nations \u2013\u00a0demanded Fidesz be punished<\/a>\u00a0for its actions.<\/p>\n

Several member parties waited for the German Christian Democrats to make a decision before voicing their support in either direction. Additionally, Fidesz\u2019s expulsion could have split the EPP just months before the EP elections, seeing as several member parties were against the act. Slovenian Democratic Party member Janez Jansa, for example, said he would follow Fidesz out of the EPP. The exclusion would also alienate parties that receive votes in line with Orb\u00e1n\u2019s anti-migrant message, such as those from Bavaria, Austria and France.<\/p>\n

Before the vote, several Fidesz politicians made statements demonstrating the party\u2019s desire to\u00a0remain in the EPP<\/a>. PMO Head Gergely Guly\u00e1s confirmed that the party wants to remain in the center-right bloc, under certain conditions: \u201cWe want to see a strong, united, Christian democratic EPP which opposes illegal immigration, and as long as there is a chance this could happen, we want to be a part of the EPP.\u201d At the same time, Fidesz-friendly Hungarian media repeatedly called on the party to leave the EPP of its own accord.<\/p>\n

You cannot have your cake and eat it too<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The process leading up to the decision was tedious and rife with indecision. Both the EPP and Fidesz tried to play it safe, often attempting to \u2018have their cake and eat it too.\u2019 The EPP walked a fine line in its mission to satisfy every party involved. Such an early compromise was an attempt at placating both those threatening to follow Fidesz out of the EPP and those calling for its expulsion in the first place. Other European party families \u2013 the Socialists and greens \u2013 believe Fidesz is merely testing the EPP\u2019s boundaries. Meanwhile, the press has spent so much time focused on Fidesz\u2019s EPP predicament that it has barely breathed a word about the European Parliament Elections, two short months away.<\/p>\n

For EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber, it is vital the party family has access to as many votes as possible. Therefore, the importance of Fidesz\u2019s 11 votes is undeniable. However, maintaining a close relationship with the liberal parties from Northern Europe is also essential.<\/p>\n

Although several Fidesz politicians \u2013 including Gergely Guly\u00e1s, MEP J\u00f3zsef Sz\u00e1jer and even the Prime Minister himself \u2013 have stated that Fidesz \u201ccannot be ejected or suspended\u201d due to its popularity with Hungarian citizens, it still needs the backing of the family party. For instance, when it comes to allocating resources, it is highly important which family Fidesz belongs to. Currently, to this end, the EPP has the German CDU, the strongest EU and EPP member.<\/p>\n

A masterful compromise?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The aim of Wednesday\u2019s vote was to arrive at a solution that satisfies all. The EPP wished to keep both sides of the spectrum to secure as many votes as possible for the party family. While the German parties did not want to see Fidesz expelled, the 13 parties who initiated the proposal expected Fidesz to be ousted, or at the very least, hit hard by sanctions.<\/p>\n

The vote on Fidesz\u2019s membership was inevitable and punishment was highly likely. However, the result is something of a masterful compromise since it enables both parties to \u2018have their cake and eat it too.\u2019 The \u201cdecision of the EPP Presidency together with Fidesz<\/a>\u201d states that<\/p>\n

\n

the EPP Presidency and FIDESZ jointly agree that FIDESZ suspends its membership in the EPP until the report of the evaluation committee is ready.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The decision\u2019s wording alludes to the possibility that Fidesz had a word in its own suspension. The EPP can now keep both its liberal members and its more radical members, including Fidesz. Also, Orb\u00e1n and his party have been given a way out of the situation that leaves them relatively unscathed by the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n

Different political interests, different communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Weber argues that \u201chis proposal\u201d was \u201cnecessary\u201d because the EPP\u2019s \u201cvalues are not negotiable\u201d and Fidesz needs to understand that and begin to \u201crebuild trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Gergely Guly\u00e1s, the Head of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, previously claimed that Fidesz would rather terminate its membership than see it suspended, this obviously has not turned out to be the case. Orb\u00e1n insists that Fidesz has decided to suspend its rights as long as<\/p>\n

\n

the three wise men complete their report, then we will have talks again with the EPP.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

EPP leader Joseph Daul declared that \u201cinternal democracy has spoken,\u201d and tweeted the following after the announcement of the verdict:<\/p>\n

\n

We cannot compromise on democracy, rule of law, freedom of press, academic freedom or minorities\u2019 rights. And anti-EU rhetoric is unacceptable. The divergences between EPP and Fidesz must cease.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

EPP liberals have welcomed the decision as they consider it a step closer to their ultimate goal: Fidesz\u2019s expulsion.<\/p>\n

What is next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The suspension has kept the party family intact while also giving each party a chance to sing the tales of its \u201cvictory.\u201d \u201cThe European People\u2019s Party made the right decision because it kept its unity. The EPP also made the right decision in the sense that the grouping will now be able to tackle the EP election campaign as a cohesive unit and because Fidesz can continue to support Manfred Weber as the EPP\u2019s spitzenkandidat,\u201d Orb\u00e1n stated.<\/p>\n

It is important to keep in mind that the final decision has only been postponed. Orb\u00e1n confirmed that Fidesz\u2019s place within the EPP is still in question:<\/p>\n

\n

We have made an adequate, temporary decision, but we have not settled anything. After the elections, we can freely decide on the terms of our relationship.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As of now, it is unclear how long it will take for the EPP\u2019s \u201cthree wise men\u201d to produce a report. As many have rightfully pointed out, the committee is comprised of politicians from three countries (Belgium, Germany and Austria) of which two (Hans-Gert P\u00f6ttering and Wolfgang Sch\u00fcssel) are known for being lenient towards Fidesz.<\/p>\n

However, the May 23-26 EP elections will determine the votes cast for each party and with that, Weber\u2019s future and Fidesz\u2019s place in the European People\u2019s Party will be decided.<\/p>\n

A three-member evaluation committee has been appointed to monitor whether Fidesz meets the conditions of the joint proposal. As a result, a great debate has erupted in Hungary regarding whether Fidesz\u2019s suspension was orchestrated by the EPP or whether the party \u201cunilaterally\u201d chose to temporarily stop \u201cexercising its rights.\u201d Each party has used the opportunity to spread its own narrative. While the EPP claims it suspended Fidesz\u2019s membership and withdrew its rights, Fidesz insists it solved the problem by recommending its own suspension. Was it possible to please everyone? Prior to the Political Assembly, it was difficult to determine the vote\u2019s outcome as the political interests of the various parties and political figures were dizzyingly diverse. For those who called for Fidesz\u2019s expulsion \u2013 a total of 13 parties from ten, primarily liberal, nations \u2013\u00a0demanded Fidesz be punished\u00a0for its actions. Several member parties waited for the German Christian Democrats to make a decision before voicing their support in either direction. Additionally, Fidesz\u2019s expulsion could have split the EPP just months before the EP elections, seeing as several member parties were against the act. Slovenian Democratic Party member Janez Jansa, for example, said he would follow Fidesz out of the EPP. The exclusion would also alienate parties that receive votes in line with Orb\u00e1n\u2019s anti-migrant message, such as those from Bavaria, Austria and France. Before the vote, several Fidesz politicians made statements demonstrating the party\u2019s desire to\u00a0remain in the EPP. PMO Head Gergely Guly\u00e1s confirmed that the party wants to remain in the center-right bloc, under certain conditions: \u201cWe want to see a strong, united, Christian democratic EPP which opposes illegal immigration, and as long as there is a chance this could happen, we want to be a part of the EPP.\u201d At the same time, Fidesz-friendly Hungarian media repeatedly called on the party to leave the EPP of its own accord. You cannot have your cake and eat it too The process leading up to the decision was tedious and rife with indecision. Both the EPP and Fidesz tried to play it safe, often attempting to \u2018have their cake and eat it too.\u2019 The EPP walked a fine line in its mission to satisfy every party involved. Such an early compromise was an attempt at placating both those threatening to follow Fidesz out of the EPP and those calling for its expulsion in the first place. Other European party families \u2013 the Socialists and greens \u2013 believe Fidesz is merely testing the EPP\u2019s boundaries. Meanwhile, the press has spent so much time focused on Fidesz\u2019s EPP predicament that it has barely breathed a word about the European Parliament Elections, two short months away. For EPP Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber, it is vital the party family has access to as many votes as possible. Therefore, the importance of Fidesz\u2019s 11 votes is undeniable. However, maintaining a close relationship with the liberal parties from Northern Europe is also essential. Although several Fidesz politicians \u2013 including Gergely Guly\u00e1s, MEP J\u00f3zsef Sz\u00e1jer and even the Prime Minister himself \u2013 have stated that Fidesz \u201ccannot be ejected or suspended\u201d due to its popularity with Hungarian citizens, it still needs the backing of the family party. For instance, when it comes to allocating resources, it is highly important which family Fidesz belongs to. Currently, to this end, the EPP has the German CDU, the strongest EU and EPP member. A masterful compromise? The aim of Wednesday\u2019s vote was to arrive at a solution that satisfies all. The EPP wished to keep both sides of the spectrum to secure as many votes as possible for the party family. While the German parties did not want to see Fidesz expelled, the 13 parties who initiated the proposal expected Fidesz to be ousted, or at the very least, hit hard by sanctions. The vote on Fidesz\u2019s membership was inevitable and punishment was highly likely. However, the result is something of a masterful compromise since it enables both parties to \u2018have their cake and eat it too.\u2019 The \u201cdecision of the EPP Presidency together with Fidesz\u201d states that the EPP Presidency and FIDESZ jointly agree that FIDESZ suspends its membership in the EPP until the report of the evaluation committee is ready. The decision\u2019s wording alludes to the possibility that Fidesz had a word in its own suspension. The EPP can now keep both its liberal members and its more radical members, including Fidesz. Also, Orb\u00e1n and his party have been given a way out of the situation that leaves them relatively unscathed by the whole ordeal. Different political interests, different communication Weber argues that \u201chis proposal\u201d was \u201cnecessary\u201d because the EPP\u2019s \u201cvalues are not negotiable\u201d and Fidesz needs to understand that and begin to \u201crebuild trust.\u201d Although Gergely Guly\u00e1s, the Head of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, previously claimed that Fidesz would rather terminate its membership than see it suspended, this obviously has not turned out to be the case. Orb\u00e1n insists that Fidesz has decided to suspend its rights as long as the three wise men complete their report, then we will have talks again with the EPP. EPP leader Joseph Daul declared that \u201cinternal democracy has spoken,\u201d and tweeted the following after the announcement of the verdict: We cannot compromise on democracy, rule of law, freedom of press, academic freedom or minorities\u2019 rights. And anti-EU rhetoric is unacceptable. The divergences between EPP and Fidesz must cease. EPP liberals have welcomed the decision as they consider it a step closer to their ultimate goal: Fidesz\u2019s expulsion. What is next? The suspension has kept the party family intact while also giving each party a chance to sing the tales of its \u201cvictory.\u201d \u201cThe European People\u2019s Party made the right decision because it kept its unity. The EPP also made the right decision in the sense that the grouping will now be able to tackle the EP election campaign as a cohesive unit and because Fidesz can continue to support Manfred Weber as the EPP\u2019s spitzenkandidat,\u201d Orb\u00e1n stated. It is important to keep in mind that the final decision has only been postponed. Orb\u00e1n confirmed that Fidesz\u2019s place within the EPP is still in question: We have made an adequate, temporary decision, but we have not settled anything. After the elections, we can freely decide on the terms of our relationship. As of now, it is unclear how long it will take for the EPP\u2019s \u201cthree wise men\u201d to produce a report. As many have rightfully pointed out, the committee is comprised of politicians from three countries (Belgium, Germany and Austria) of which two (Hans-Gert P\u00f6ttering and Wolfgang Sch\u00fcssel) are known for being lenient towards Fidesz. However, the May 23-26 EP elections will determine the votes cast for each party and with that, Weber\u2019s future and Fidesz\u2019s place in the European People\u2019s Party will be decided.
