Opposition Fidesz on Wednesday branded European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s annual State of the Union address as a public endorsement of what it called the “Brussels-Tisza pact”.
In a statement, Bertalan Havasi, the party’s communications director, said von der Leyen had “sent greetings from the Brussels centre to the Hungarian colony” and “publicly confirmed the Brussels-Tisza pact”.
He insisted that the EC president had spoken of Brussels using “financial blackmail” to help bring the Tisza government to power and keep it there, in exchange for the government “settling scores with patriotic politicians who oppose Brussels” and handing over the Hungarian economy “lock, stock, and barrel to foreign companies”.

In her address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, von der Leyen said that on 12 April, the Hungarian people had taken their future into their own hands, choosing democracy and Europe, and returning Hungary to the heart of the European Union.
“The fight against corruption and state capture is speeding up. There is real progress on fundamental rights. On academic freedom. And now, billions of euros of investment in Hungary have been unlocked,” the EC president said.

What in the world is Fidesz talking about? The Hungary-Brussels “pact” was made the day Hungary joined the EU. Fidesz is a collection of hysterical nutjobs in bed with the Russians.
Viktor Orban publicly confirmed the Moscow-Fidesz pact the day he ordered the 1956 memorial removed from Kossuth ter. They are a band of traitors.
Viktor, no one is listening to you. You had your chance for 16 years, now stop moaning and panting and making silly noises and either contribute to governing or retire.
Hungary is getting the full extortion package from the Brussels cult.
Touching as it may be, it was a choice they made themselves.
