(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JUN 25 - "It is true that there is an east-west division and that there have been silences" over Hungary, said the French President Emmanuel Macron at the press conference at the end of the European Council in Brussels. But "if we make a precise analysis on the post-communist societies that have joined the EU, then we will have the answer. It is not just Viktor Orban's issue; it is a deeper problem. There is an increase in illiberalism in the societies that fought against communism and that today are attracted by political models contrary to our values ;;", Macron added.

"I am not in favor of using Article 50. Instead, we need effective procedures, as those provided by our Treaties are too long", Macron underlined. (ANSA).
