Opposition: state practically being controlled by the Fidesz mafia!
Change language:
Hungary’s opposition parties on Thursday called on Justice Minister Judit Varga to step down in the wake of bribery allegations against a former senior ministry official.
Pál Völner resigned as state secretary on Tuesday after the chief prosecutor’s office asked parliament to lift his immunity so he can defend himself against charges of receiving bribes on a regular basis. At an online press conference held in front of the justice ministry, the opposition Momentum, Párbeszéd, Jobbik, LMP, Democratic Coalition (DK) and Socialist parties, along with the Everyone’s Hungary Movement (MMM), called on Völner to also step down as a lawmaker.
Noting that Thursday marked International Anti-Corruption Day, Momentum board member Miklós Hajnal said “systemic corruption” in Hungary was “also visible from the inside, not just at the tip of the iceberg”.
“They are practically running a criminal organisation within the ministry, and the state is practically being controlled by the Fidesz mafia,” he insisted. Hajnal said the opposition would “cleanse” every ministry if it won next year’s general election and aimed to ensure that Hungary was “not the European champion of corruption”.
Párbeszéd’s Bence Tordai said two other MPs of ruling Fidesz, György Simonka and István Boldog,
faced “similar allegations to Völner”, but “their parliamentary seats are the key to maintaining Fidesz’s two-thirds majority”.
György Szilágyi of Jobbik said “the most shocking thing” was that Hungary “has become the most corrupt country in the European Union”.
LMP group leader László Lóránt Keresztes noted that
Völner is suspected of having received “millions of forints” in bribes from the president of the branch of bailiffs over a sustained period of time.
“Until the threads of corruption are investigated, the repossessions need to be suspended,” he said. Keresztes added that because Völner had also been in charge of approving surveillance requests, “we must assume that he also handled those in a corrupt manner.”
The reason Fidesz controls most of the Hungarian government is clear. Hungarians DO NOT want more of the awful policies of the communist and left leaning Brussels Gyorgy Soro’s Lap Dogs who want to turn Hungary into a 3rd world country overrun with 3rd world migrants and the LGBTQ moral degenerate policies. Here is your clue. You and your policies are not welcome here. How much clearer do we need to make it?
Hungarians voted a FIDESZ majority government because this party’s philosophy agrees with the wishes of the population. Furthermore, when issues, previously not discussed, the government consults the population. This balances the 4 year dictatorship of other EU countries and allows participation of the population. Hungarians made the right choice, well done.
Agree with Juhász and MVT. Well put -:)
