Poland, Hungary protest tying EU budget allocations to political conditions
Poland, similarly to Hungary, has come out against a fresh preliminary agreement between the German European Union presidency and the European Parliament on tying EU budget allocations to member states “to political and ideological criteria”, the foreign minister said on Friday.
Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook that he had discussed the matter with both his Polish counterpart Zbigniew Rau and Polish Minister of Labour, Development and Technology Jaroslaw Gowin by phone earlier in the day.
He said they were in agreement that the matter did not concern “the money of Brussels bureaucrats but funds generated by the work of the European people (including Poles and Hungarians)”.
Neither the Hungarian nor the Polish government can allow anyone in a case like this to tie the receipt of European funds to “subjective ideological conditions” or to “use the matter of EU money for political blackmail”, Szijjártó said.
He added that he and his Polish partners had assured each other that they would remain committed to their position, and would continue to support one another on the issue.
Not only do Hungary and Poland not accept but they firmly reject criticisms of the state of democracy in their respective countries, Szijjártó said, arguing that both the Hungarian and Polish governments had been given clear mandates by their electorates.

EU funds are badly needed for the inflated king of Orbananas to keep his grip on illiberal power. With that money, not only he and his family can run luxurious lives 99 % of Hungarian people can only dream of, but so can his court of mandarines ( so called ministers ) and oligarchs. It seems as finally the EU begins to see through the absurdity of 1. Tying important decisions to a senseless unanimity policy which makes it possible for two insignificant members to continously blackmail the other twenty-five. 2. Allowing two EU state to become de facto dictatorships, with little respect for minorities, women’s rights, human rights in general, and no more independent courts and almost no media pluralism .
Dear EU, cut the funds unless PL and HU change path. If they do not like it, they can exit, like the UK did. Every club has got rules, take it or leave it.
#Orbananas: the Polish government will obey sooner or later. The pressure from the EU paymasters will have some effect, but the Polish people themselves, the new generation, will not stand by and let the fragile threads of democracy and enlightenment slip through their fingers. When Poland is dragged into the 21st century, the Hungarian gravy train will also run out of tracks. A government is elected to serve ALL people, not just one group with one ideology.
Yet again, we have been subjected to the MAD RAVINGS of ‘total crappers’ like “ORBANANAS” and “JUST SAYING”.
Neither Hungary nor Poland want funds from E.U. poofie-woofies / licky-lickies / Marxists / Socialists / ‘neo-liberal’ migrant lovers and anti-JudeoChristians that are ‘linked’ to following their BIZARRE beliefs as happened in these (and other) Central European countries for about 40 years under Communist rule.
Mass suicide by Brussels-based E.U. bureaucrats would be beneficial for Europe in that this would save its citizens TRILLIONS OF EUROS on useless projects such as importing Muslim ‘cockroaches’ from Africa / the Middle East and trying to ‘train’ these filthy creatures.
It can only be hoped that both Hungary and Poland VETO the E.U.’s INSANITY once and for all.
Then we’ll see who comes begging ….
#Mass Suicide: If neither Poland nor Hungary want EU funds, why don’t those governments simply return it? No one is forcing them to accept the money!
