At Thursday's plenary session of the European Parliament, it was announced that Fidesz members of the European Parliament will get their committee seats back. This finally put an end to the anti-democratic and illegal situation that had existed for months, due to which the Fidesz MEPs could not participate in the committee work to which they were legally entitled. - announced the EU parliamentary group of Fidesz in a Facebook post.
Tamás Deutsch, head of the Fidesz European Parliament group, said in relation to the announcement: "The persistent and determined position of the Fidesz MEPs over the course of months against the will of the left-wing majority has yielded results: we can once again participate in professional work, we can once again represent Hungarian interests in specialized committees ". Tamás Deutsch highlighted: "The left-wing majority of the European Parliament constantly calls out the rule of law in the member states and preaches about problems with the rule of law in the member states, based on malicious and faulty logic. Compared to this, he maintained an anti-democratic and illegal situation for many months by not making the political decision regarding the committee seats to which the representatives of Fidesz are legally entitled" .
