Hungarian vaccination program in trouble? – DK mayors would only allow vaccines approved by the EU
The mayors of five districts of Budapest have turned to the minister of human resources with the demand that only vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) be used in their districts.
At an online briefing on Sunday, Erzsébet Gy. Németh of the opposition Democratic Coalition stressed the importance of vaccinations, adding that it would only be responsible, however, to use jabs approved by the European Medicines Agency. Németh, who is a deputy mayor of Budapest, accused the government of lobbying heavily for the Sinopharm vaccine, adding that the matter of people’s health “must not be turned into a political or business issue”.
- Mayor Karácsony asks Budapest residents to trust in vaccines
- It’s shameful that EU waited months to approve AstraZeneca’s vaccine, says Hungarian minister
- Russian vaccine to be used first in Budapest
The letter by the opposition mayors to the minister also calls for the option of
allowing individuals to choose between authorised vaccines.
Ruling Fidesz said in response that the mayors were in effect aiming to block people in their districts from getting access to certain vaccines. In a statement, Fidesz noted that a third wave of the epidemic was spreading across Europe and countries were working against the clock to obtain vaccines in competition with each other.
“The political strategy of the left wing is to prolong the epidemic,
ensure there are more sick people and that more people die and that the economy is brought down,” so that the opposition has a basis on which to savage the government in their 2022 election campaign, the statement said.

Dobrev Klara (DK) and her subservient pribeks only want ‘E.U. approved’ vaccines to be used in Budapest.
The European Commission – led by ‘LYIN LEYEN’ – have been shown as INCOMPETENT FOOLS in not only the (European) management of COVID-19 but also with their responses to many other important issues [such as ILLEGAL MIGRATION of Muslims].
As such, these idiots – and their rabid followers – have forfeited ANY rights to make ‘demands’.
If the adherents to DK ‘philosophy’ do not approve of actions by the Hungarian Government, then perhaps they should relocate en-masse to Brussels where (in)action by their beloved European Commissioners can be experienced first-hand.
These pathetic excuses for (local) politicians will NOT be missed for one micro-second.
Well done. And long live the EU.
Nothing like a bit of rampant xenophobia! Perhaps Mario would prefer Hexit and lose the huge EU subsidies?
All these mayors want to do is delay the vaccination program and increase the death rate of fellow citizens.
These people should never be reelected.
It is extraordinary statement by the Left.
The only reason that Hungary has to even consider Russian and Chinese vaccines is because the EU messed up in a big way.
I have no problem if the Hungarian Left criticise The Fidesz Govt on policy matters but what I do have a problem with is the Hungarian Left being silent on the mistakes made by EU.
It is more clear day by day that EU is a total failure on many important issues. If the Left really believe EU is competent they are even more misguided than I thought.
