Europe is facing a nightmare because of the attacks on democracy and rule of law in Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary, Austrian Die Presse writes.

The renowned media, in analyzing the situation, further points out that the latest developments in Bulgaria and Romania reveal an alarming model.

"The parties in the two countries see politics as an extreme game, where the win or the loss of one player must be balanced by the win and the loss of all other participants. After they seize power or form a coalition, the parties grab hold of all key positions in no time – from the Chair of the Constitutional Court to the Heads of the Statistical Offices. This way they attempt to cement this power for the longest time possible," the article notes.

According to Die Presse, the same principle is in place in Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary – those who are not with us are against us.

The publication concludes that after the latest developments, Sofia and Bucharest will have to wait for a long time to join the free Schengen Zone.
