Government: EU corruption scandal affects circles criticizing Hungary for corruption
Change language:
Hungary will keep its word on the deals connected to both the recovery fund and the utilisation of European Union monies, the prime minister’s political director said on Thursday.
Balázs Orbán told the Hungarian press on the occasion of an EU summit that the deals Hungary had achieved fulfilled the country’s national interests. The agreement is in line with the goals that Hungary presented at the start of talks, he said. Instead of exercising pressure on the member states, Brussels should be open to their proposals, he added, referring also to concerns raised by Poland.
Hungary expects that the contracts can be signed by the end of the year, in line with the agreement, the director said. He added that a compromise must be sought and cooperation should not be discarded.
The Hungarian government considers the global minimum tax a “job killer” measure which results in tax increase, which is why it opposed it, he said. However, the country managed to achieve exemption, taxes will not have to be increased because Hungary’s local business tax will be considered as an element in the calculation.
In Hungary, there’s no such thing as Police raids on Politicians – of the type seen in the EU’s Qatargate.
I’m guessing there’s a very good reason why our Politicians have always resisted membership of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO).
EPPO announced that a European People’s Party (remember- the one our Politicians were basically booted out of, after 21 years) and European Parliament Member, was also part of the fraud probe – so not a “Lefty”.
Would be so interesting to see EPPO at work in Hungary! https://www.eppo.europa.eu/en/news
Twenty (20) Police raids – and counting (post script)
After Orban goes, nobody will admit having voted for him. Bit like post war Germany; nobody supported the Nazis. They were all against Hitler.
