European Union Budget Deficit Exposed, Orbán Government Concerned
The recent session of the European Parliament on Wednesday took an unexpected turn, shifting from a debate about the Hungarian presidency to a nomination meeting, according to MEP Csaba Dömötör of the ruling Fidesz party. Speaking on public radio, Dömötör highlighted the intentions of the Brussels elite to prefer a different government in Hungary, one that aligns more closely with the liberal mainstream and is more supportive of the war efforts, rather than emphasizing border protection.
Dömötör criticized MEP Péter Hungarian, president of the Tisza party, for applauding and denouncing his own country during the plenary session of the European Parliament. He emphasized that it was a clear indication of the lack of willingness on the part of the Brussels elite to address the signs of crisis in public, despite the weakening European competitiveness, stagnating economy, and the apparent collapse of the Schengen agreement.
The Fidesz MEP expressed concern over the EU’s decision to allocate an additional 35 billion euros for the Ukraine war, at a time when there are visible holes in the EU budget and outstanding repayments on a major loan. He questioned the lack of clarity on the end of the war and who will take responsibility for it, as the EU continues to finance the conflict.
Dömötör also criticized the lack of respect shown towards Hungary by key leaders of the European Union, stating that this disrespectful tone has persisted since the Fidesz-KDNP government assumed power. He highlighted the irony of Hungary being lectured on democracy by those who seek to stifle it, and who are attempting to sideline the Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament’s decision-making process.
