Fidesz: European left blackmails Hungary
“Attacks” against EU commissioner for neighborhood policy and enlargement Olivér Várhelyi “are a political tool of the European left” to exploit strategically important EU enlargement policy as part of their “cheap political games”, the head of the Fidesz group in the European Parliament said on Tuesday evening.
In a statement, Kinga Gál called it “absurd” that the EP’s Committee on Foreign Affairs had proposed an investigation against Várhelyi in its annual report on the implementation of the EU’s common foreign and security policy.
“In his statements, Olivér Várhelyi has always represented the European Union’s position, consistently applying democracy and the rule-of-law conditions in line with the revised methodology,” Gál said, highlighting the commissioner’s “indisputable” professional achievements and his key role in “giving new impetus” to the integration of the Western Balkans.
“The EP remains deeply concerned by reports that the Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement is deliberately seeking to circumvent and diminish the central importance of democratic and rule of law reforms in the countries wishing to join the EU” Népszava quotes the EP report as saying.
Gál insisted the report had levelled “unacceptable politically motivated” criticism against Hungary, insisting that this was “part of a witch-hunt that has been going on for years because we support peace and object to proposals that support illegal migration and eliminating the sovereignty of EU member states.”
Várhelyi is regarded as an excellent but difficult expert. He came under fire in the EP earlier this year when he was heard saying this sentence over a microphone in the European Parliament chamber:
“How many more idiots are there?”
