Președintele României, Nicuşor Dan, a participat joi și vineri la reuniunea Consiliului European de la Bruxelles, unde au fost discutate numeroase subiecte de importanță pentru România. Pe agenda reuniunii figurați probleme precum sprijinul pentru Ucraina și Republica Moldova, avansarea procesului lor de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, viitorul Cadru financiar multianual 2028-2034, securitatea și apărarea europeană, precum și provocările economice globale. Potrivit unui comunicat al Administrației Prezidențiale, Dan a susținut reflectarea adecvată în Concluziile Consiliului European a incidentelor cu drone, care au afectat mai multe state membre ale UE, inclusiv România. El a subliniat importanța unei condamnări ferme a tentativelor Rusiei de escaladare a conflictului și a necesității unui progres constant în pregătirea pentru apărare a Uniunii, cu atenție specială acordată Flancului Estic și proiectului „Eastern Flank Watch”.
În plus, Dan a pledat pentru progresul rapid în ceea ce privește pregătirea pentru aderare a Ucrainei și Republicii Moldova, salutând deschiderea oficială a primului capitol de negociere pentru aderare. Acest proces, care a fost oficial deschis la 15 iunie 2026, a fost susținut de România ca o etapă istorică. Președintele a menționat, de asemenea, importanța unui mesaj puternic de sprijin pentru Republica Moldova, înainte de summitul UE-Republica Moldova programat pentru 22 iunie. Sprijinul european pentru Ucraina, pe toate dimensiunile relevante – politic, economic, militar și umanitar – a fost un alt subiect prioritar, cu România susținând o abordare unitară și fermă la nivel european, prin creșterea presiunii asupra Federației Ruse, inclusiv prin adoptarea celui de-al 21-lea pachet de sancțiuni.
Viitorul Cadru financiar multianual 2028-2034 a reprezentat o temă deosebit de importantă, cu liderii europeni analizând propunerea revizuită de document orizontal („Nego-box”), care include, pentru prima dată, alocări concrete. Dan a pledat pentru un buget european ambițios, capabil să răspundă nevoilor de dezvoltare ale statelor membre și obiectivelor de ansamblu ale Uniunii. El a reiterat prioritățile convenite în scrisoarea Grupului „Prietenii Coeziunii”, coordonat de România, care reflectă atât în propunerea de Nego-box, cât și în Abordările Generale Parțiale pentru regulamentele sectoriale relevante, cum ar fi Regulamentul privind Planul de Parteneriat Național și Regional (PPNR) și Regulamentul de instituire a Fondului european de competitivitate (FEC).
Pe parcul de la Bruxelles, în același timp, se desfășura o altă scenă politică importantă. Viktor Orban, fostul prim-ministru al Ungariei, a fost reales sâmbătă în fruntea partidului Fidesz, în ciuda înfrângerii sale la alegerile parlamentare din aprilie. Acesta a reiterat că „niciodată nu renunț”, chiar dacă partidul a pierdut puterea. Orban a afirmat că Fidesz a fost un „partid de guvernământ fantastic” timp de 16 ani, dar că trebuie să treacă printr-un proces de schimbare pentru a deveni un partid de opoziție funcțional. Acesta a fost supus presiunilor din partea unor foști susținători loiali care îi cereau să se retragă din politică, iar popularitatea partidului a scăzut dramatic după alegeri.
În același timp, Ungaria a blocat un nou pas în procesul de aderare la UE al Ucrainei și Republicii Moldova, amânată o etapă procedurală esențială. Premierul ungar, Péter Magyar, a insistat să se elimine formula „cât mai curând posibil” din concluziile summitului, argumentând că ar transmite un mesaj greșit statelor din Balcanii de Vest. Acesta a menținut o poziție rezervată față de ritmul aderării Ucrainei la UE, sugerând că aderarea ar putea dura 10-15 ani. Totuși, în ciuda acestor obstacole, UE a deschis oficial negocierile de aderare cu Ucraina și a aprobat un împrumut de 90 de miliarde de euro pentru Ucraina, iar sprijinul european pentru Ucraina a primit un impuls după înfrângerea partidului Fidesz.
În cadrul summitului bilateral cu Republica Moldova, Uniunea Europeană a anunțat noi finanțări de peste 260 de milioane de euro pentru infrastructură, securitate și combaterea amenințărilor hibride. Liderii au reafirmat sprijinul pentru aderarea Chișinăului și au transmis că „viitorul Moldovei este în UE”. Președinta Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Leyen, și președintele Consiliului European, Antonio Costa, au subliniat importanța procesului de aderare și au promovat progresul realizat de Republica Moldova. Liderii au adoptat o declarație comună care reflectă profunzimea parteneriatului UE-Moldova și beneficiile concrete pe care acesta le aduce cetățenilor.
În paralel, Parlamentul maghiar a adoptat un amendament constituțional care ar împiedica revenirea lui Viktor Orban la putere. Amendamentul, adoptat cu 135 de voturi pentru și 50 împotrivă, limitează durata mandatelor de prim-ministru la maxim opt ani și se aplică retroactiv. Acesta ar însemna că Orban nu ar mai putea reveni în funcția de șef al guvernului. Amendamentul a fost promis în campanie de actualul prim-ministru, Péter Magyar, și a fost redactat de reprezentanți ai Partidului Tisza. Acesta a fost criticat de opoziție, dar a fost adoptat cu majoritatea constitutivă. Amendamentul deschide calea pentru desființarea Oficiului pentru Protecția Suveranității, instituție controversată, și pentru desființarea fundațiilor de interes public, structuri prin care Orban ar fi transferat universități în proprietatea unor entități controlate de persoane apropiate partidului său.
Aceste evenimente, deși diverse, demonstrează complexitatea scenei politice europene, unde sprijinul pentru Ucraina și Republica Moldova este în continuă evoluție, în timp ce Ungaria încearcă să adapteze poziția sa față de aderare, iar România susține un rol activ în procesul de integrare europeană. În același timp, schimbările constitutionale în Ungaria indică o tendință de restructurare a puterii, cu implicări directe asupra viitorului politicii europene.

AdevărulIndependentCenter10 days ago Hungary blocks the accession of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the EUHungary has blocked a new step required for advancing Ukraine's and the Republic of Moldova's accession negotiations to the European Union, according to European diplomats. The two countries made an important step toward membership on June 15, when EU member states unanimously approved opening the first group of negotiation chapters. However, since both countries are treated together in the accession process, progress on one depends on the other. Hungary opposed sending a letter to the European Council and Commission that would have established a common position among member states, potentially delaying the timeline. Hungary's stance aligns with Prime Minister Péter Magyar's reservations about the pace of Ukraine's EU accession. While Hungary did not oppose opening the first group of negotiation chapters, it requested the removal of the phrase 'as soon as possible' from the conclusions of last week's European summit. Magyar explained that he does not believe opening all six groups of chapters at once is advisable, as it could send the wrong message to Western Balkan countries like Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, which have been working for years to join the EU.

HotNewsIndependentCenter10 days ago Hungary blocks a new step in the EU accession process of Ukraine and the Republic of MoldovaHungary has delayed a critical procedural step required for advancing Ukraine's and Moldova's EU accession processes, according to two EU diplomats cited by POLITICO. Both countries reached a significant milestone on June 15 when EU member states unanimously approved the opening of the first formal negotiation cluster for both nations. This measure had previously been blocked by former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who opposed Ukraine's EU membership. Ukraine and Moldova are politically linked, meaning neither can advance without the other. Ukraine aims to open all six negotiation clusters by mid-July, but this timeline is now at risk after Hungary opposed sending a letter to the European Council and Commission representing the unified position of all 27 EU members. Hungary was the only country opposing this initiative, which requires unanimous approval and will be discussed again next week. A spokesperson for Hungary’s Permanent Representation in Brussels did not comment on the matter. The move aligns with Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s reserved stance on Ukraine’s accession.
