Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer has criticized EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's decision to boycott the meetings planned in Hungary under the leadership of the Hungarian Council Presidency. "Opinions can be divided on the prospects of success of Viktor Orban's talks," wrote the CDU politician on Platform X. Nevertheless: "Every effort to achieve peace in Europe is worth taking seriously." The boycott of the EU Commission has "something schoolmasterly" about it. "This is no way to treat each other in a union of equal states."
