Don’t be afraid! PM Orbán’s delegation promised to fight “against Brussels” in the EU Parliament

In the next plenary season of the European Parliament, the delegation of ruling Fidesz will work to strengthen the European and Hungarian economies, pursue a pro-peace and anti-migration policy, keep agricultural subsidies at the current level, and push back against “pressure from Brussels”, MEP Csaba Dömötör told a press conference on Friday.

Dömötör said the “elite of the European People’s Party and the left-wing” could not withhold the monies Hungary was entitled to, and “cannot turn down the volume of the voices it doesn’t like, neither on Facebook nor in the European Parliament“.

The “Brussels elite” was looking to take on the baton from the “failed US Democrat administration”, as shown in the coalition of the Liberals, the Socialists and the EPP, Dömötör said: “They are not looking for the flame of peace but for the baton of war politics”.

The Fidesz delegation, meanwhile, is working to become the voice of those who “want peace in the clamour of war, an independent European economy, who would preserve the appeal of rural life and reject migration”, Dömötör said.

Pro-peace policies and level energy prices are key to maintaining an upward trajectory of the Hungarian economy, he said. The protection against migration must be kept in place, and agricultural subsidies at a current level, he said.

The EP stance that all member states should earmark 0.25 percent of their GDP to the military support of Ukraine would cost hundreds of billions for Hungary, he said.
