Hungarian lawmakers approves resolution on EU rescue package
Lawmakers on Tuesday approved a resolution proposed by the ruling parties regarding the European Union’s coronavirus recovery package.
The resolution calls on the government to make its support of the loan package conditional on poorer countries getting at least as much money as richer ones.
It also says that the ongoing Article 7 procedure against Hungary must be concluded before the loan package is approved and that EU funds cannot be used to fund political parties or “organisations posing as civil groups carrying out political activities”.
The resolution adds that the package must be depoliticised to ensure that it is not tied to the issue of the rule of law.
The resolution was passed with 128 votes in favour, 16 against and one abstention.

Way to go, Hungary.
It’s about time that an E.U. nation stood up to the ‘Pink Poodles’ (= poofie-woofie bureaucrats) of Brussels and told those supercilious, NON-ELECTED, mental retards where to ‘stick it’.
Keep up the great work in Budapest !
