Fidesz MEP Arrested for Assaulting Woman While Drunk
In a shocking development, Balázs Győrffy, a prominent Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Hungary’s Fidesz party, has resigned after admitting to a disturbing act of violence. In a startling Facebook post, Győrffy confessed to assaulting a woman while he was heavily intoxicated.
The revelation of Győrffy’s late-night altercation has caused a stir across the country. The MEP admitted to being involved in a heated argument that escalated into physical violence. Despite being in a drunken state, Győrffy took responsibility for his actions, deeming them “unacceptable.” He publicly apologized to the victim, his family, and his colleagues in Fidesz, announcing his resignation from all public roles, including his seat in the European Parliament and his position as President of the National Chamber of Agriculture.
Following Győrffy’s confession, reactions on social media have been mixed. While some have criticized him for his actions, others have commended his decision to step down. Fidesz, however, wasted no time in condemning Győrffy’s behavior, stating that those who violate the party’s values cannot remain part of the community. The party emphasized its zero-tolerance policy towards violence, especially against women.
Furthermore, in a surprising turn of events, Fidesz supporters directed their criticism towards Péter Magyar and his Tisza Party, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama. This controversy comes on the heels of a contentious campaign leading up to the recent elections, where Fidesz and its allies targeted Magyar with allegations of misconduct.
Adding to the chaos, reports have emerged of a wild party near Budapest’s Chain Bridge that descended into a brawl involving a drunken former MEP, believed to be Győrffy. The incident reportedly led to vandalism and aggravated assault charges being filed against the ex-MEP, with one individual sustaining severe injuries.
As investigations into the matter continue, Hungary finds itself embroiled in a political and social upheaval sparked by Győrffy’s resignation and the subsequent fallout. The repercussions of this shocking revelation are likely to reverberate throughout the country’s political landscape in the coming days.
