Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony wanted to use the right-wing members of the European Parliament delegation visiting our country last week to shine a light on himself, but the people involved did not leave this unanswered, reports Magyar Hírlap .
A few days ago, Karácsony wrote on Facebook about the meeting with the delegation: "I noticed that even the far-right representatives of the committee were surprised by how the government politicizes against its own country in order to retain and gain political and economic power."
Nicolas Bay, the politician of the French National Collapse, responded to our newspaper saying that Karácsony lied, and otherwise "he was one of the most reticent people we met during the mission, he could not show a single proof of damage to the rule of law, he only kept complaining that his relationship was bad with the government, which is otherwise normal among political opponents".
The politician called the trip useful, although, as he put it, not in the sense that liberal MEPs had hoped for. As he said, it has been proven that the so-called rule of law debate is on the one hand completely under political influence and serves to undermine the conservative government, and on the other hand it is a fraud, as he has now seen with his own eyes that the accusations are baseless. Nicolas Bay added that he is afraid that the mission does not contribute to a balanced and objective report, if only because the liberals probably wrote it long before and are just waiting for it to be published.
Jorge Buxadé, the Spanish VOX politician, wrote on Twitter that Karácsony is lying, "which is not surprising, since he is a liberal". The representative also wrote that Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield, head of the Green Party delegation, was not entirely honest either: at the French politician's closing press conference, she criticized Buxade and Bay for not attending every meeting, but she forgot to mention that the Austrian social democrat Bettina Vollath the night before , and the Swedish far-leftist Malin Björk already left on Friday morning, even though the programs did not end until that afternoon.
