The European Commission has no legal basis to withhold the money, political games and blackmail are taking place, which is petty even in peacetime, but downright unacceptable in a war situation, Zoltán Kovács, the government's state secretary responsible for international communication, told Mandiner.
We publish two excerpts from the interview conducted by Dániel Kacsoh:
According to the OSCE, the non-transparent campaign financing and overlapping messages of the government and governing parties also undermined the election process. What do you say about this?
The result speaks for itself, even the losers acknowledged this. There is nothing to beautify, about 850,000 of their voters have disappeared. This didn't happen because of manipulation, but because they simply politicized poorly. Again. By the way, the OSCE once seemed like a standard-setting body deserving of a better fate, one of whose main tasks is monitoring elections. Compared to this, when the current delegation arrived, it immediately started making political announcements. Of course, this is perhaps understandable given the fact that some members of the team are closely connected to the international network that we only call the Soros universe, which is opposed to the Hungarian government's policy. However, this activity does not belong to their original mandate, they should check the technical implementation, the purity of voting and free access, not analyze the political environment from a biased perspective. They overstepped their authority.
Can EU funds, for example from the recovery fund, also be implemented?
We already said in the campaign: Brussels actually has no legal basis to withhold the money, political games and blackmail are taking place, which is petty even in peacetime, but downright unacceptable in a war situation. In addition, the election gave Fidesz-KDNP clear legitimacy and confirmation, which means that from this point on, the European Commission really no longer has a dispute with the government, but with the Hungarian people.
This result should also be accepted by the EU institutions if democracy is important to them.
Of course, we can see the frenzy that started in the international press after the election, how they are demanding Hungary be punished with renewed force, but it would be a shame for the authorities to listen to these voices.
