“It is high time that the swamp was drained here in Brussels,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a video message on Facebook on Thursday.
The fact that “the left-wing vice-president of the European Parliament was arrested over corruption charges” has left its mark on the Brussels summit of the European Union, he said.
Everyone knew that Brussels was full of corruption cases but now the matter “had reached such a level” that even the police had to take action, Orbán said.
The corruption scandal has shaken the European institutions, house searches are being held, police are confiscating millions of euros, and everyone is speculating which other Brussels politicians could be involved, he said.
Many believe that the links could go up to the highest echelons, Orbán said. He said that the summiteers had heard the EP president on Thursday, and stressed the need of a “thorough and comprehensive investigation” of the corruption scandal.

In the meantime, the (independent) Police has engaged in 20+ raids, arresting and detaining a number of people to address the EU’s Qatargate.
The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), an institution our Politicians have always resisted to join, is engaged in it’s own investigations. EPPO has already implicated one of Mr. Orbán’s old (centre right) political affiliations – a European Parliament Member who is part of the European People’s Party (the one that booted out our Politicians after 21 years).
People are being held to account – something we don’t see very often, here in Hungary…
At least the EU investigates corruption, unlike the millions that disappear here. Stop being a Trump parrot with that “drain the swamp”, he is disgraced and should not be your role model.
Should start by draining our own first
Orban – is a LEMMING following his best FRIENDS being the “former” infamous 45th President of the United States of America and Vladamir Putin, that words escape me what I consider is this individual.
Orban – with the creation of the MESS he alone has created in Hungary, our Economy on the cusp of collapse, relationships with the European Union in turmoil, relationships with “other” countries we Hungary have had as friends for distance in time – all destroyed by Victor Orban and his Government.
What we are left with, being driven deeper into a TREND of a dictatorship, collapsing economy, collapsing education system, public health services & hospitals in a state of humongous collapse and decline of basic standards – the list is QUITE endless.
The billions of forints – to get us out of this MASSIVELY deepening MESS – the forints who is going to SAVE us?
Orbans closest of friends – Russia & China – both DICTATORSHIPS – are they GOING to SAVE Us?
Would we as Hungarians ALLOW this?
Deeping testing times as civilian Hungarians we are in and its WORSENING.
