欧盟委员会希望确保下一代欧盟成员国中不会出现第二个欧尔班,为此它已制定计划,为未来几年欧盟向东欧扩张做好准备。
In an interview with the Guardian and other European newspapers, the EU commissioner for enlargement, Marta Kos, outlined proposals for special safeguards to protect the bloc from leaders who could flout democratic values and hold hostage decision making, a pattern of behaviour exemplified for many by the former Hungarian prime minister.(在接受《卫报》及其他欧洲报纸采访时,欧盟扩大事务专员玛尔塔·科斯概述了特别保障措施的提案,以保护欧盟免受那些可能藐视民主价值观并挟持决策的领导人影响——在许多人心目中,前匈牙利总理正是这种行为的典型代表。)

“No more Viktor Orbán,” said Kos. “We have to have quicker mechanism(机制)s than only article 7 [a sanction that allows a member state’s voting rights to be suspended] if the newcomers would go against the rule of law, democracy or our values.”
“不要再出现欧尔班,”科斯说。“如果新成员国违背法治、民主或我们的价值观,我们必须有比仅靠第7条更快的机制——第7条是一种允许暂停成员国投票权的制裁措施。”
