Wednesday’s session of the European Parliament “started out as a debate about the Hungarian presidency but turned into a nomination meeting,” Csaba Dömötör, an MEP of ruling Fidesz, told public radio on Sunday.
“The election is still a long way off, but the Brussels elite have already indicated that they want a different government in Hungary, one that aligns better with the liberal mainstream, one that is willing to support the war and does not insist on border protection,” Dömötör said.
He added that MEP Péter Magyar, president of the Tisza party, “showed his appreciation by applauding and denouncing his own country” in front of the plenary session of the European Parliament.
Dömötör said it was an important lesson from the debate that the Brussels elite was not willing to talk about the signs of the crisis in public, even though European competitiveness was weakening, the economy stagnating and the Schengen agreement “is collapsing before our eyes”, they did not want to discuss this because it would be revealed that their decisions had led here.
“They would give another 35 billion euros for the Ukraine war even though the holes in the EU budget are increasingly visible, and the instalments of a major loan taken out earlier must also be repaid. The EU has been financing the war for two years, and it is not yet clear where it will end, or who will take responsibility for it,” he said.
Dömötör said the key leaders of the European Union did not even give the most basic respect to Hungary. This has been the tone since the Fidesz-KDNP government took office, he added.
Another lesson was that Hungary was being lectured about democracy by those who were stifling it, trying to squeeze the Patriots for Europe group out of the European parliament’s decision-making, Dömötör said.
