to break away from madrid last year. hungary's prime minister has been at the european parliament in strasburg defending his populist government ahead a vote to impose sanctions against that viktor orbán accuse the european parliament of blackmailing his country over its immigration policies described the report detailing breaches of the rule of law as an insult there are also concerns about the independence of hungary's courts and the rise of corruption the parliament votes tomorrow if it decides in favor of sanctions hungary could lose its e.u. voting rights. and mr obama did not hold back here is what some choice words for european lawmakers make sure you don't know personally have watched and i've come here today because you're not going to condemn just the government but our nation as well that we're going to denounce hungary that's been a member of the family of christian european nations for
7:08 pm
a thousand years. if you're going to denounce hungary that contributed to the great history of europe with hard work and shed its blood when it was needed. like. authorized debate happened at the e.u. second home in strasburg where we find the dog in europe correspondent max often welcome max so victor all beyond that with much to say in his own defense what did you make of his statement. actually that sound byte fill was well picked because it showed the strategy of the bond trying to deflect from the details of the actual accusations that were made in that report to saying that hungary was being condemned and tact even as a nation so that's what he's trying to do not really react but trying to put this on a national level on a nationalistic level even that's the strategy he's been governing with now for years also even putting this into historic context saying hungry fought for
7:09 pm
democracy even stood up against the soviets so that gives you a sense of where he was trying to go there of course parliamentarians and also representatives of the e.u. commission pushed back very noticeable here funds to moments the vice president of the e.u. commission said the strategy that shows there in deflecting all those actual arguments going into nationalism was and i quote here the cowards way out so it seems nothing much has changed here in the positions and just a reminder what we're talking about here watch this report by catherine martin's it explains it very well. i am est is what this poster says many hungry and see there right british prime minister to tell the teary and many people are worried about core democratic values such as free speech or an independent judiciary many members of the e.u. parliament say the rule of law in hungary is being threatened as are those who want
7:10 pm
to defend human rights so they say the e.u. must take a tougher line for example criminalizing migration related activity dismantling the rule of law is no longer tolerated the situation hungary has got to the point the has to stand for its for our. european trigger article. article seven of the european union to initiate. a member state it could even lose its rights for the first time in the us history the european commission checkered article seven in july against poland despite a similar case against it hungary has so far a marriage unscathed the reasons for this are mainly political according to green m.e.p. . she examined the legal situation in hungary on behalf of the european parliament and clear breaches of the e.u. is fundamental. the political party is member of the
7:11 pm
european people's party and they have friends in commission and in parliament and hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could look very different. which way is tomorrow's vote likely to go. it really depends if the e.p. the european people's party which is a part of the. party makes its members stick to a certain party line in this. article seven but it's going to be hard to get the. two thirds majority now we don't expect that to happen actually just a reminder p.p. is kingmaker here and we expect this evening that the members of the e.p.a. are given free hand to vote any way they want so according to their conscience if that happens then become is in trouble because many members of the e.p. p.r.
7:12 pm
very dissatisfied with the path that the door bun has taken they feel like he's not representing the values not only of the european union but especially of the european people's party and so we expect many of those politicians to vote for triggering article seven so in this case against hungry and so that's why our sources here believe that the two thirds majority will actually happen tomorrow and that article seven will be triggered on wednesday no guarantees but it seems more likely than not so if if the vote goes against hungry an article is triggered. that what sort of consequence will this have. well theoretically in a well rather distant future it might lead to the stripping of the voting rights that you voting rights of hungry although that is a long path and if there is one country that the times it doesn't happen know there's something more immediate and more serious for veto or because his party is
7:13 pm
still a part of the e.p. which is the strongest party in the european parliament so it gives him legitimacy it gives him power it helps it and if really article seven is triggered then it's going to be hard for the other. members and especially for the leader of the vapor to keep the fetus party so vital organs party in the e.p. piece so that might be the beginning of an exclusion from the e.p.a. and apparently that's something the once to avoid that's why it is possible that behind closed doors oppose as opposed to what he did in speeches public speech so behind closed doors he might offer up some compromises to soothe some of the members. and thank you. in sports spain's message football league la liga hopes to play a match in the united states as your own
