The European Union’s freezing reconstruction funds for Hungary is “not connected in any way” to the country’s passing anti-paedophilia legislation, Socialist MEP István Újhelyi said on Wednesday.
Újhelyi quoted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as saying on Tuesday that the EU had, “in cooperation with the LGBTQ movements, attacked the so-called child-protection law”, adding that Orbán was “lying”.
Újhelyi insisted that the contested legislation was “nothing but provocation, passed to provide an excuse for disputes with EU institutions and an explanation for their freezing community funding”.
In recent months, the
EU has withheld some 320 billion forints (EUR 869m) from Hungary,
as the European Commission has not approved the country’s reconstruction plan, Újhelyi said, pledging to have those funds released once a new government was set up.
Újhelyi warned that development funds for Hungary in the next EU budgeting cycle were “also in danger” in view of the EU’s possible application of a rule of law mechanism against Hungary in January.

Is there any doubt Hungary should leave the European Union? Withholding funding is in fact extortion. Brussels is hoping that Fidesz and Orban will be defeated in next years general election and that they can get the treasonous opposition candidates installed to betray their own country. Fidesz and its candidates need to get an even bigger majority in the next election and to increase their seats in the national government to send a big middle finger to the Soro’s lap dogs in Brussels.
I also saw that many of MAGYARORSZÁG A MAGYAROKÉ’s posts have been removed too. Thank you DNH, and a Happy Christmas to you all.
Thanks Mel, happy holidays!
If theEU withholds money from Hungary until a change of Goverment, this would be a typical political interference in the internal affairs of Hungary.
Hungary should not send a penny to the EU until the amount owed to Hungary is recouped.
Likened to what occured in Pompai AD 79 – the Volcanic Eruption of Mount Vesuvius – Hungary & the European Union the Stand Off – is Explosive.
The firing of Salvos at a distance, tactics being employed to break positions – played by both sides, till one gives in or Surrenders, makes for interesting observation and reading.
2022 – up until the National Elections in Hungary – this will be an Actioned Packed period of time of the Hungary – European Union – Shoot Out.
It can be expected that the European Union will maintain it’s position on matters and issues that we know they do at present, riding – Rough Shot – over Hungary and are not interested in compromize nor giving ground – in matters of disagreement, and that any moves that Hungary may decide to take – under the title of Diplomacy – the European Union – will possible Listen, but remain Steadfast in there position – on the major points of conflict – between the EU and Hungary.
The EU – the opinion and its reputation over decades that I have formed – is a style that is Dogmatic – inclined to lay down Principles – as undeniably True.
The word TRUTH – in all this Stand Off – between the EU and Hungary – the one telling the Truth – will win the Shoot Out.
This is another Challenge to the EU – that when confronted with Truth – it resorts to a defame game of tactics – through it being INTERLOCKED – into Principles – conceived by its mere or sheer existence and purpose – unable to admit – Wrong – nor prepared, in fact incapable – to incorporate flexability – in its platform of principles – it Believes as Undeniably True.
Victor Orban – he is Challenging the EU – and its fascinating to watch & observe.
The EU appear to have floundered – not responding with Confidence nor Convincingly – to matter(s) that Victor Orban – has objected and tabled to them, requesting from the EU – additional explanations – to clarify or make Clearer – explanations – responses – received from the EU.
Truth – in Life – is our Strongest Form of Defence.
History – never Lies and in time, we will know – who wasn’t sent off to the Confessional for a “talking to” – and won the Prize – telling the Truth.
