Fidesz names replacement MEP after politician resigns over assault scandal
Ruling Fidesz Nominates Csaba Dömötör as MEP Following Resignation of Balázs Győrffy
Ruling party Fidesz has announced that Csaba Dömötör, the state secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office, will be nominated for the MEP post left vacant by Balázs Győrffy, who resigned at the end of August. Dömötör, who previously served as an aide to the Fidesz delegation in Brussels before becoming a lawmaker in 2018 and a state secretary in 2015, has been selected to fill the position, according to the party’s statement.
Győrffy, a prominent MEP from Orbán’s Fidesz party and a member of the Patriots for Europe, made headlines when he confessed to committing an act of violence against a woman while heavily intoxicated. In light of these revelations, Győrffy chose to step down from his position, paving the way for Dömötör to take on the role.
The nomination of Dömötör comes at a time of transition within the Fidesz party, as it looks to move forward following the resignation of Győrffy. Dömötör’s experience in both domestic and international politics is expected to serve him well in his new role as MEP, representing Hungary on the European stage.
As the official transition takes place, Fidesz remains focused on its mission to uphold the values and principles of the party, while also addressing any challenges or controversies that may arise. With Dömötör set to assume the MEP post, the party will continue its work to advocate for the interests of Hungary and its citizens within the EU.
