Six out of every ten Hungarians say that Brussels should seek cooperation and compromise, and it has no right to withhold the payment of European Union resources allocated for member states, the Századvég Foundation said on Tuesday.

The think-tank’s latest survey involved interviewing 1,000 people in early January to assess public opinion about the payment of cohesion and recovery funds “rightfully due” to Hungary, the statement said.

The survey showed that 60 percent of Hungarians believe the EU is an alliance of free and equal countries, and “Brussels has no right to withhold financial resources, even partially, but should seek compromise”.

I would suggest that the HIGHLIGHT be on the FACT that 60 per cent out of 1,000 INTERVIEWED Hungarians “should seek cooperartion and comprimise”. Surely that 1,000 can’t be considered to be a real indication of the other 9, 605, 259 persons, or rather, the adults out of this number.

To me, that just goes to show how very much those one thousand are MISINFORMED, ie, believing that we have a God-given right to the EU’s funds. I can only surmise that that particular one thousand only gets informed through the FiDeSz Government controlled media.

Even better is that in Hungary Today they state that the opinion of 1.4 million here is against the EU. I just checked, and that is not a majority. Further, it was from one of the govenment’s “national consultations”, which they email to everyone who registered for the vaccine. What a joke Hungary Today has become. SAD!
