"The enlargement of the European Union is a legal and political process. Turning it into a geopolitical instrument undermines the Treaty on European Union itself, and abolishing the right of veto would turn it into a second Soviet Union. The European Union must expand according to clear criteria, not convenience.
Reform is necessary, but it should not be rushed - even less used as a cover for authoritarianism and federalization. Such a reform was not carried out before the enlargements to Central and Eastern Europe. On the contrary, the candidate countries themselves reformed at the cost of enormous deprivation. It must be considered very carefully, preserving sovereignty and the right of veto.
The right of veto in the EU Council is clearly an obstacle for the ruling bureaucratic elite. It is called for its abolition. This would turn the partnership between the member states into coercion. No unity will be achieved, but domination over those who disagree.
This approach is already leading to absurd results: North Macedonia, which is not yet a member of the EU, is openly advocating for qualified majority voting in the Council. This is an attempt to circumvent the commitments made by Skopje in 2022 to the entire EU. Reform is necessary, but it must be the subject of serious analysis and not at the cost of the sovereignty of the member states. I will repeat once again - without the right of veto, the European Union is turning into the Soviet Union.", said Stanislav Stoyanov.
