Change language:
The European Parliament has admitted that the opposition Tisza party is the intended beneficiary of the rule-of-law procedure against Hungary linked to withholding EU funds, Fidesz MEP Csaba Dömötör said on Wednesday.
Fidesz MEP’s statement
This week’s EP budget committee meeting saw Tisza MEP Kinga Kollár speak “with shocking openness” about how damaging Hungary’s economy strengthened the opposition, Fidesz MEP Dömötör said in a statement, adding that she had “clearly linked the rule-of-law procedure with the 2026 Hungarian elections”.
The left-wing opposition, he said, pursued the policy of “what is worse for the country is better for them”. The Fidesz MEP said other opposition parties, the Democratic Coalition and Momentum, had quietly lobbied for punitive measures against Hungary. “Now Tisza is doing this openly,” he said.
Dömötör said that the “Brussels elite” wanted to instal leaders in Hungary who would toe the line and vote for extra financing for the war, the migration pact, and “accept ideological madness” by approving the gradual withdrawal the rights of member states. In return, opposition MEPs were being allowed to “hide behind their immunity” and receive support for their political campaigns in Hungary, he added.
Fidesz MEP Dömötör said that “so-called” NGOs backed by the European Commission “with huge sums of money” had also addressed the committee meeting, but rather than representing the civil sector, they had pocketed the commission’s money and spoke about how “rule-of-law procedures can influence election results”.
The rule of law procedure is conducted against the Fidesz regime regardless for its’ overwhelming corruption. If Tisza benefits politically that is a by-product. It is the ultimate in cynicism for Fidesz to seek political gain against the opposition for the fact that Hungarians would vote for Tisza because Fidesz corruption is being punished. Fidesz has no shame.
