Socialist MEP: ‘Orbán govt responsible for Hungary losing all EU funds’

The responsibility will lie entirely with the Orbán government, if the EU freezes all the funding Hungary is entitled to receive, an MEP of the opposition Socialists said on Thursday.

“It is more important for the government to cement its power than reaching an agreement with the EU to release the funds,” István Ujhelyi told a press conference. Ujhelyi said that in the worst case scenario, Brussels “may freeze all funding for Hungary which amounts to HUF 6,000 billion (EUR 14.85bn) in the common recovery fund and some 13,000 billion earmarked during the next EU budgetary period”.

As a result, Hungary would have to cancel development projects, Ujhely said, adding that the national currency and international confidence in the country could further weaken. Inflation could also rise, which the government will address through “taking out expensive loans”, he said.

Ujhelyi demanded that all correspondence between EU institutions and the Hungarian government regarding the rule of law procedure against the country should be made public. It would show what criticism and requirements Brussels had put forward and what response the government had given to them, the MEP said.

    No amount of money makes up for ceding sovereignty. Why is Hungary still in the EU? There does not seem to be an advantage for the membership. Marxist socialist Brussels is an oppressor.

    There is nothing stopping Hungary from leaving the EU and getting the same amount of financial support from Putin and Xi Jinping, and “not” 😉 ceding sovereignty to Russia and China. Putin’s army should feel quite at home after their first stint.
