European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has canceled the visit of the College of Commissioners to Hungary and adjusted the level of representation at EU Council meetings under the Hungarian presidency.
European Commission spokesperson Eric Mamer reported this on the social network X.
"In light of recent developments related to the Hungarian presidency, the President of the European Commission has decided that the European Commission will be represented at the level of senior civil servants only during informal meetings of the Council. The visit of the College to the presidency will not take place," the statement said.
Hungary's Minister of European Affairs János Boca responded to this statement and wrote on Platform X that Budapest, as the chair of the rotating EU presidency, remains "committed to sincere cooperation" with the institutions of the European bloc and member states.
"The European Commission cannot choose the institutions and member states with which it wants to cooperate. Are all of the Commission's decisions now based on political considerations?" wrote Janos Boka.-
