Socialists demand Orbán fire Fidesz MP suspected of corruption
Change language:
Budapest, August 11 (MTI) – The Socialist Party has demanded that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán fire a lawmaker from his party who has been linked to a corruption case involving European Union funds.
Political weekly 168 Óra said last week that in 2015 Fidesz MP Roland Mengyi had solicited bribes from social cooperatives in exchange for preferential treatment in the bidding process for EU funding.

László Varga, the Socialists’ deputy parliamentary group leader, said on Thursday that if Orbán does not dismiss Mengyi, then he too would be “complicit” in the case.
Varga said his party “has good reason to believe” that the prime minister will not take any steps in the matter because any action he takes would reveal that “multiple Fidesz MPs, state secretaries and ministers are running a crime ring” that “goes all the way to the top” within the party.
The socialists are the ones to watch out for! Let us not easily forget the horrible life most Hungarians had under communism…No freedoms; I watched elderly people stand on bread lines for hours years ago; as well as imprisonment for those who dared ‘speak out’…My late father was a Hungarian Freedom Fighter & I am proud to have been his daughter..tho he is now buried in the Obuda cemetery! Love you dad! A brave man who taught me to be the same; and NOT back down in the face of totalitarianism…..I’d be in jail if I stayed in Hungary during the communist times as I am NOT afraid of dictators or commies! Hate Russians.
