(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 29 SET - Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor
Orban requested the immediate resignation of European Commission
Vice President Vera Jourova in a letter to EC President Ursula
von der Leyen, Orban's International Communications Office
informed today. Hungary is at the same time suspending "all
bilateral political contacts with her."
According to Orban, Jourova's recent statements are
"incompatible with her current mandate." In the letter, Orban
claimed that Jourova said that in Hungary "a sick democracy" is
being built, a "political attack against the democratically
elected Government of Hungary" and a "humiliation to Hungary and
the Hungarian people." Moreover, Orban recalled that the
"Commission's role" is "neutral" and Jourova's wording are "a
blatant violation of the principle of sincere cooperation."
