Critics, however, warn it represents a deeper shift toward centralization in Brussels and a gradual erosion of national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"903\" data-end=\"1061\">The controversy is

parts of the framework.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2760\" data-end=\"2807\">Meanwhile, major political friction remains in:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"3032\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1rx4oq9\"

Orb\u00e1n argue that mainstream European media often underrepresents sovereignty concerns and overemphasizes pro-integration narratives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3918\" data-end=\"4080\">Critics counter that such claims are part of a broader political strategy to delegitimize EU institutions and weaken collective solutions to migration challenges.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4082\" data-end=\"4155\">This
