Fidesz: the EP election list is finalised, the left supports the EU’s “crude political pressure

Tamás Deutsch, who heads Fidesz’s national board, said in a video uploaded to Facebook on Monday that the ruling alliance’s European parliamentary election list has been adopted.

Concerning the upcoming election, Deutsch said “the stakes have never been this high”, with “Brussels bureaucrats inciting war and seeking to force Hungary into the war in Ukraine through political blackmail”. He insisted that the EU’s “pro-war” stance was supported by Hungary’s “dollar Left” parties.

“We Fidesz and Christian Democrat deputies will continue to promote the pro-peace position of Hungarian citizens … just as we reject Brussels’ pro-migration stance,” he said.

“We’ll protect Hungary and will not allow it to be turned into a migrant destination, and reject also Brussels’ gender frenzy,” Deutsch said.

“We’ll protect Hungarian children and will not allow gender ideologists to swarm Hungarian kindergartens and schools,” he said.

On June 9 “we’ll have to sweep out the pro-war, pro-migrant and gender ideologist members of the Brussels bureaucracy together with the Hungarian dollar Left’s pro-Brussels MEPs,” Deutsch added.

The exciting thing about the joint list is that while the KDNP and EC leader Von der Leyen, who is under attack by the Hungarian government, belong to the EPP family of parties, Fidesz, having left the EPP, does not belong to any European party.

Bóka: Left supports ‘raw political pressure’ by EU

The European Commission and the European Parliament have used the EU’s procedures against Hungary “to exert raw political pressure … with the Hungarian leftist parties actively supporting it,” János Bóka, the European affairs minister, said in parliament’s European affairs committee on Tuesday.

“The principle of equal competition is violated if an EU member cannot access EU funds because of such political pressure,” Bóka said. The situation “all the more serious … if that happens because of leftist deputies acting against the national interest,” he added.

“It is now beyond any doubt that Hungary isn’t gaining access to EU funding for political reasons,” he said, adding that the EU procedures against Hungary did not serve European values.
