Comment: Asselborns Failure
The Luxembourg foreign Minister, would like to throw Hungary out of the EU, because of the inhumane refugee policy of Viktor Orban’s. Jean Asselborn was right, but his attack comes at the wrong time, says Barbara Wesel.
Jean Asselborn Luxembourg’s foreign Minister and the longest serving among his EU colleagues
Jean Asselborn had simply boredom? He wanted to rows after the summer break, quickly back to the blow? He has seen during the holidays a lot of foreign journal with the drowning refugees in the Mediterranean sea? In any case, his recent verbal seems to be attack against Viktor Orban, somewhat arbitrarily placed.
In terms of content, the Minister has, in principle, right. Because what Orban offers ahead of the scheduled referendum against refugees currently in hysterical Propaganda that goes on no cowhide. He makes his little Danube dictatorship to an extreme right-wing enclave in the EU, joins democracy and human rights and is also great. He also wants to – it seems to combine best the Visegrád group is an Eastern European Confederation of anti – Democrats with faschistoidem impact. In the role of the greatest leader of all time, Viktor Orban looks undoubtedly.
After 25 years of barbed wire in Hungary
In any case, the Hungarian has been upgraded to be the country with walls and barbed wire to form a bulwark against migrants and especially the armed militia to human hunters. On the first death, the victim can be maintained.

Anyway, Orban has brought long placed the democratic institutions of lame, the Opposition undermined the judiciary on a leash, freedom of the press to Silence. All of this violates the rules of democracy, which are enshrined in the EU treaties. But all this is long known. The EU has seen the development since years and political views, be lulled.
In a way, Jean Asselborn does his European colleagues a Favor: It’s psychologically relieving, if at least one expresses what many are thinking. And there are certainly more than a Ruling in the EU, and wished the earth might open up under Viktor Orban, and it just swallowed. To be xenophobic, racist Gekläffe is embarrassing, his miniature dictatorship is a disturbing factor, poison his influence in Eastern Europe.
Zoff in the class of political fly weights
Only the most of the European politicians find it counterproductive in the war of words against him and his followers to enter. Europe has more important problems and needs to design a positive image of himself and his Benefits to the citizens, instead of to hide in a small piece bickering with a vicious ideologues on the edge of Ricken. The time is yet to come. Until then, mutual insults in the class of political fly weights are little productive.
The outburst of anger by Jean Asselborn has also, therefore, the painting of arbitrariness, because of the Luxembourg knows very well that the EU has no mechanism for a country to exclude. The creators of the contracts have believed too much of the Good in politics. That was a failure, as you can see in the meantime. In this respect, Asselborn should keep provisionally his powder dry-and perhaps his experience and his influence in October, after the disastrous Referendum in Hungary, in a concerted attack in conjunction with a couple of larger partners.
