Jobbik’s president Gábor Vona: Wage Union may bring a new EU

Press release – Gábor Vona was interviewed by Olga Kálmán in her TV show “Talk Straight”. Jobbik’s president talked about PM Orbán’s foreign bank accounts, the wage union and “a new European Union”.

Mr Vona reminded the viewers of Socialist politician Gábor Simon whose secret Vienna bank account led to his downfall. The president said he felt obliged to inquire if the PM was in a similar situation because if he was, then “the Prime Minister poses a national security risk as a potential target for blackmailers and other attackers”. He added he had been astounded that Mr Orbán “was unable to clearly state that the allegations were untrue”.

Mr Vona explained that, unlike former PM Ferenc Gyurcsány who had claimed to be, he had not been presented any hard evidence about the case but he wanted Mr Orbán to clarify “the allegations widely circulating in Hungarian political discourse”. “It has been alleged for years that the PM and his circle secretly transferred stolen money abroad.” The president added, pointing out the PM’s “strange, silly trips” to Switzerland, for example. That is what prompted him to ask Mr Orbán in Parliament if the allegations were true. However, he noted that he wasn’t “spending his time on this matter”, unlike Mr Gyurcsány. “I have more important things to do as the European Commission registered the initiative for a wage union on Tuesday,” Mr Vona emphasized.
