Opposition calls on Orbán to drop veto plans on EU budget
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has called on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to withdraw plans to veto the European Union’s next seven year budget and post-pandemic recovery fund “before he is completely left alone with this issue”.
At an online press conference on Friday, DK MEP Sándor Rónai cited reports from the previous day according to which Poland was ready to withdraw its veto plans if EU leaders approved an explanatory resolution on the relation between financial support and rule of law criteria.
Rónai said the veto issue had led to a coalition crisis in Poland. In addition to the Polish opposition, even some of the ruling parties understand that a veto would cause serious damage to the country, he added.
One of the ruling parties has threatened to leave the coalition in case the veto is implemented, he said.
“There are high chances that the Poles will sooner or later reverse from the dead-end situation that they have loudly entered together with Orbán,” Rónai said. “In case that happens, Orbán will be in big trouble and Hungary will be in the greatest trouble,” he added.
The veto will not harm the EU or other European countries but Hungary, because Hungarian businesses and Hungarian people will be left out of the EU rescue package, he insisted.

Now that Poland has left him alone, Goulash with ears will bow and drop the bullish veto. He only needs time to think of how he can sell his pathetic capitulation to the cavemen which form the toughest share of his primitive audience. There is to say, though, that that kind of audience is easy to please, so he won’t be needing much time to find out a suitable excuse.
Yet again, Mario has illustrated that when he was standing in queue to receive contents for his cranial cavity, the supply of brains ran out.
As a result, this particular mental pygmy’s head is full of nothing but sawdust.
Oh dear …..
