Hlina claims he did not fight for this

The former chairman of the Christian Democrats has decided to write a broad status for MEP Miriam Lexmann in the European Parliament. He is disappointed in all this. It voted to adopt a resolution on the rule of law crisis in Poland. The topic of the vote was mainly about the supremacy of EU rights. “Because of this, I did not wear shoes all over Slovakia. Because of this, I did not sacrifice four years of my life for KDH. We did not make someone a Member of the European Parliament in order to vote with fascists, semi-fascists or extremists in Brussels.” criticizes Clay.

The resolution was adopted at the end of October. According to Hlin, this basically speaks of what the European Union is all about. “No one forced Poland to be a member of the EU. If they wanted to go there and they are there, they have to respect the foundations on which the EU was founded and the laws that govern the EU.” Clay continues.

Lexmann voted as Uhrík and Radačovský

“Two Slovak MEPs from Slovakia were against this report – MEPs Uhrík and Radačovský and in addition MEP M. Lexmann on behalf of KDH. 502 out of 671 MEPs voted for this report. All MEPs from all parties such as CDU, CSU, OVP , KDU – ČSĽ, “ describes the result of the Clay vote.

“However, I had no idea that I would live to see that the MEP of the party I was chaired in would be in ‘one party’ with those people and vote against the whole of Europe with them. I am sad about this and I cannot accept it.” concluded.

The MEP defends that she was not alone

Lexmann defends himself after saying that she was far from alone in voting. “It is clear that the report was not supported by other Members across the European Parliament’s political groups,” Lexmann argues.

“In the exercise of my mandate, I always vote to the best of my knowledge and conscience. I have been communicating the values ​​I follow for a long time. line and I have no reason to pay special attention to it, ” MEP Lexmann disagrees with Hlin.

Lexmann defends his method of choice in such a way that even this resolution on the crisis in Poland did not contain a constructive search for dialogue, but rather ideologized and exacerbated relations with Poland. “It should be emphasized that Poland is neither the first nor the only state whose Constitutional Court has ruled on the primacy of the national constitution over EU law.” says the MEP.

I wanted to protect the European project

“I voted in a sincere effort to protect the European project, so I did not support the tendency to extend the EU’s powers. I am in favor of the EU respecting the division of competences between the Member States and the European Union agreed upon from the outset. constitutional law, which has been challenged by the constitutional courts of the Member States, the only solution is a sincere, open and constructive debate. “ Lexmann continues.

“In my opinion, the answer must be sought in the German theory of constitutional pluralism, which presupposes constant dialogue and domestication between the Member States and the EU. However, the resolution did not reflect any of this. That is why I voted against.” concluded.
