Fidesz MEP: Stop ruining European industry
Fidesz MEP András Gyürk on Monday called on the European Union to “abandon the course leading to the ruin of European industry”, at a plenary session of the European Parliament.
At the debate on setting up the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP), Gyürk said STEP wouldn’t solve the crisis caused by the EU’s “failed industrial strategy and irresponsible budgetary policy”. The Fidesz delegation did not support the initiative, he said.
Industrial performance fell by 5 percent in the past year, “competitiveness is in ruins, and forecasts suggest stagnation and recession,” Gyürk said. The responsibility for the situation lies mainly with the European Commission, he said. “What we now see is the result of an industrial policy of sanctions, unrealistic green goals and increasing bureaucracy,” he said.
STEP is an attempt to continue on that failed road, he said. “A real solution of the problem requires a change in Brussels. Let us hope that happens next June the latest,” he said, referring to the European parliamentary elections.
Fidesz MEP Andor Deli said: “It is now clear that the EU’s budget is in a worrying state. To maintain its liquidity, the EU is now requiring further payments from member states, and continues to withhold Hungarians’ money to exert pressure.”
The European Commission should “return to a policy based on mutual respect to find a solution regarding the EU budget in the coming weeks,” he added.

Wait. Fidesz lecturing people on strategy, budgets, and policy? Aren’t we a shining beacon, leading by example!
And please, EU—do send us money. ASAP. We promise we will raise teachers pay when you do!
Hardly surprising when the E.U.rotrash puts the entire rest of the world ahead of the interest of the European countries’ citizens.
My dear Lord, what a bunch of lies and blah blah’s. From a government which claims to take care of business for the population the best way possible. The only thing this government is good at: spreading hot air and making a lot of noise. Or as a Slovakian citizen once said: if one member of a group of man is talking the loudest and telling he knows how to solve the problems of this world but is doing little, it must be a Hungarian.
