Fidesz MEP told why Hungary cannot be corrupt

corruption European Union Fidesz Hungarian government Hungary

If the EU’s charges of corruption against Hungary were true, the country’s economic growth would not have been continuous for several years, a European lawmaker of ruling Fidesz said in a roundtable discussion on French television on Wednesday.

Corruption charges against Hungary are yet another example of Brussels using an important issue such as graft and an important ideal such as the rule of law to blackmail a conservative, Christian Democratic government, Balázs Hidvéghi said in the La faute a l’Europe? programme.

Hungary, similarly to France, prosecutes 67 percent of cases forwarded to it by the European Union’s anti-fraud office OLAF compared with the EU average of 37 percent, Hidvéghi said, noting that the ratio in neighbouring Austria is 25 percent.

“It goes to show that the EU has no solid point of reference to present when implying corruption”.

Brussels is unable to accept the sovereign decision of the Hungarian people which has been shown clearly by ruling Fidesz’s winning this year’s general election in a landslide for the fourth time in a row.

It shows the success of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s policy and a rejection of accusations and political pressure exerted by Brussels.

    An independent analyst as to why the country isn’t corrupt would be far better rather than anyone speaking from Fidesz. The same would apply for any financial matters relating to the economy. In the latter there are far too many contradictions. For example, why are teachers having to ask for a salary rise when another article boasted the average wage was nearly 1500 EUR. With the deficit as it is, the figures really don’t add up these days.

    The economic performance of the country is entirely different to an elite lining their pockets with EU reconstruction funds through opaque contracts which invariably overcharge for even for the simplest thing. In most EU countries the tenders for public works are not hidden under layer upon layer of secrecy so the EU can inspect them. Not so in Hungary. EU taxpayers in the countries that fund all of this have a right to know how their money is being spent.

    We want more shiny things for the Mészáros family – we voted for it!
