The minister responsible for the use of EU funds expressed his indignation that the European Commission would exclude Hungarian students.

Tibor Navracsics, the minister responsible for regional development and the use of EU funds, was the guest of János Fiala's latest show . The main topic of the conversation was the Erasmus case , in connection with which Tibor Navracsics stated:

the model change at some domestic universities was successful, just look at the academic results.

"If you look at the international lists, the reference lists, the number of foreign university students in domestic higher education, a successful transformation is taking place in Hungary," the minister stated.

Did SZFE also play a part?

from Népszava was mentioned , in which the paper reported on Attila Vidnyánszky's speech .

The director of the National Theater and the chairman of the board of trustees of the foundation that maintains the SZFE said at the time that he saw exactly that the SZFE was "a well-thought-out central base of the system that the liberals built for themselves. They form a replacement, just look at the participants in the demonstrations, where the theater and film professions are at the forefront." "The hysteria was because we occupied one of their last bases," Vidnyánszky said last fall.

Tibor Navracsics reacted to the mentioned article as follows: "just because Attila Vidnyánszky shares his own views or frustrations with the theater world in a downtown civic salon with the audience, based on this, Népszava describes and forwards it to the European Commission, what kind of theater in Hungary party political terror is raging, which does not correspond to reality, this is the situation!"

Brussels ruled on the basis of a misleading report 

So according to the minister

the Helsinki Committee and the other organizations denounce Hungarian higher education based on this and because of this, according to Navracsics, they now want to exclude approximately 180,000 Hungarian university students from Erasmus.

"Provide one proof that in the last two years, the Fidesz politician on the board of trustees has carried out any form of indoctrination at any university," the head of the ministry further asked the presenter.

Tibor Navracsics added that while he was the EU commissioner responsible for the program, one of the greatest virtues and reasons for its popularity was that political considerations were never allowed to prevail.
