The re-election of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which was supposed to be a normal process of power change within the EU, sparked an unexpected backlash, especially from Hungary.
Why did von der Leyen, a figure who plays an important role in EU affairs, provoke so much discontent in Hungary?
The reason behind this is by no means a simple political disagreement, but involves a deep entanglement of interests and a clash of ideas.
"European patriots"
Hungary, a country in Central Europe, has always stood out in the EU for its firm stance and unique political perspective.
Hungary did not hesitate to express its opposition to von der Leyen's re-election, and its resoluteness is remarkable.
This resoluteness is not an impulsive one, but a deliberate and decisive decision.
Hungary's opposition is not alone.
It joined forces with right-wing parties in Austria and the Czech Republic to form a new group of European Parliaments – "European Patriots".
The birth of this new party group is like a bombshell thrown into the already unstable political waters of Europe, and it instantly stirs up a thousand waves.
The "European patriots" group was founded with a clear and lofty goal, that is, to promote the process of nationalization of Europe in an independent and autonomous manner.
This goal may seem beautiful, but the road to achieving it is full of thorns and challenges.
In today's era of globalization, European countries are increasingly intertwined, and various fields such as economy, politics and culture are intertwined.
In such an environment, is the pursuit of an independent process of nationalization a wise choice or an unrealistic fantasy?
Hungary, for example, has been emphasizing its national identity and national interests within the EU.
They fear that von der Leyen's re-election could further erode the sovereignty of member states, making the EU's decision-making more integrated and centralized, while ignoring the unique needs of each country.
Such fears are not unfounded.
In the past policy formulation and implementation, countries such as Hungary have indeed felt that their interests have not been fully respected and protected.
The right-wing parties of Austria and the Czech Republic joined the coalition with their own deep considerations.
Austria has always maintained a relatively independent stance in the EU and has reservations about some EU policies.
As a country that has undergone political changes, the Czech Republic attaches great importance to national sovereignty and national independence.
Promoting the process of nationalization of Europe for independence and self-determination?
The EU's power structure and decision-making mechanisms are relatively complex, and there are many obstacles that need to be overcome to achieve fundamental change.
External pressures cannot be ignored either.
The United States and other Western countries have always had an important influence on the political direction of Europe, will they sit idly by and watch the rise of the "European patriots" group and allow Europe to move towards an independent and independent nationalization? The answer, I'm afraid, is no.
There are huge differences in the level of development and the aspirations of interests between countries within the EU.
Some economically advanced countries may be more inclined to strengthen integration in order to achieve greater economic benefits; Some weaker countries are more concerned about their own sovereignty and national identity.
Finding a balance between these different interests is a huge challenge for the "European patriots" group.
Under von der Leyen's leadership, the EU's series of policies in favor of the United States have been like a raging storm, bringing many thorny problems to the EU itself, especially the sharp deterioration of relations with the major powers in the East.
Trade, a vital link in international exchanges, has now been broken by the EU's policy tilt.
The outbreak of the trade war is like a bombshell, blowing up a deep gap between the EU and the eastern powers.
What was once a thriving trade exchange has now been replaced by tensions and sharp contradictions.
The enterprises of both sides have been hit hard, and their economic interests have been seriously damaged.
The lives of ordinary people have also been affected, with problems such as rising prices and difficulties in finding employment.
It is worth pondering that there is not no disagreement within the EU.
Many countries have come out to express their opposition, a phenomenon that has undoubtedly exacerbated divisions within Europe.
The once-united European Union is now facing a clear rift on this issue.
It's like a seemingly solid edifice, and the foundations of the interior are beginning to shake.
In the midst of this political turmoil, the political landscape of European countries has also undergone significant changes.
Right-wing forces are on the rise, with France's National Alliance and Britain's Conservative Party achieving notable results in elections.
This change is not accidental, it reflects the popular antipathy to "political correctness".
For a long time, some so-called "politically correct" policies, which may appear glamorous on the surface, have failed to meet the needs of the people and solve the real problems they face in practice.
Take France's "National Alliance" as an example, which emphasizes national sovereignty and national interests.
Against the backdrop of the deterioration of relations between the EU and the great powers of the East, the "National Alliance" advocates a re-examination of trade relations with other countries in order to protect their own economic interests.
This position is supported by a segment of the population because they are eager to see real change, not empty slogans and unfulfilled promises.
Britain's Conservative Party's electoral success has similar reasons.
The population is unhappy with the long-standing political status quo and they hope that the Conservative Party will bring new policies and changes.
The Conservative Party has taken a more pragmatic approach to its relations with the European Union and other major powers, which also caters to the people's desire for stability and development.
The rise of right-wing forces has also brought new challenges and uncertainties.
Will their policy propositions really solve the problems facing the EU? Or will it bring more chaos and conflict? None of this is still known.
The EU is now at a crossroads, and the series of problems raised by von der Leyen's preferential policies are like problems that need to be solved urgently.
Where will the EU go from here?
Will we continue on this controversial path, or will we be able to adjust our course in time to regain balance and stability?
This will not only affect the EU's own development, but will also have a profound impact on the global political and economic landscape.
