Fidesz demands MP Demeter’s removal from parliament over allegations concerning PM’s daughter

The parliamentary group of ruling Fidesz has called on LMP MP Márta Demeter to return her mandate for “disclosing classified information and slandering innocent people”, group leader Máté Kocsis told a press conference on Wednesday.

Referring to press reports, Kocsis said that Demeter (LMP) had “mixed up one of the prime minister’s daughters with a two-year-old girl of the same name” and disclosed “sensitive” military information “in the hopes of political gains” when she had suggested that the prime minister’s family flew home from Cyprus on an aircraft of the Hungarian military.

News portal Origo on Tuesday identified young passenger Flóra Orbán as the daughter of an officer serving in Cyprus.

With other family members, she was returning home after visiting her father at his post.
