The purpose of the visit to Hungary by the delegation of the budget control committee of the European Parliament (EP) is to force and blackmail Hungary into the war in Ukraine, the European Union project director of the Center for Fundamental Rights stated at a press conference in Budapest on Wednesday.
Attila Kovács stated: the position of the Hungarian government is in line with the support of the sane majority of Hungarian society, that Hungary cannot be dragged into this war.
"Hungary will oppose all blackmail that comes from Brussels, be it political, ideological, financial or war blackmail"
he said.
Attila Kovács described the EP committee's visit to Hungary as a "blackmail mission" and evaluated it as "EU money in exchange for war!".
The EU project director added: this is clearly demonstrated by the fact that
the date of the visit was timed when the debates about the EU resources going to Hungary "reached a next milestone".
According to Attila Kovács, the blackmailing of EU institutions has "stepped up" with this.
He cited as an example of this: Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's speech at the CPAC conference in Budapest in early May, in which the Prime Minister rejected migration, gender propaganda and war (No migration, no gender, no war), Daniel Freund of the German Green Party, who came with the current delegation, then he responded that "no money", i.e. there is no money.
With this, Daniel Freund said that Hungary can only receive the EU funds due to it if it says yes to migration, gender propaganda and war, the EU project director noted.
Attila Kovács called it a hypocrite that the EP, which is "flooding in the swamp of the corruption scandal", sends a delegation to Hungary, whose work is "assisted by Katalin Cseh, involved in the corruption scandal".
At the same time, he said that
"A major part of Daniel Freund's work in the EP is exhausted by criticizing Hungary, the Hungarian people, the Hungarian electorate..., denigrating it".
In its written summary sent to MTI by the Center for Fundamental Rights, it stated that Hungary could not expect fair treatment from the EP, but rather the usual double standard, "because a delegation from the EP's special committee arrived in our country, whose attention was ignored when preparing its reports in Brussels corruption'.
"The protection of EU spending is obviously just the cover story, while they cry fraud and make new slanders, even though they are cheating"
says the announcement.
At the same time, the communique called the goal of the mission to fabricate new trumped-up accusations, which the EU institutions will use as a basis for withholding EU funds due to Hungary.
The Center for Fundamental Rights put it this way: "We have no doubt: the judgment was handed down before the delegation arrived in our country. However, the real goal is much bigger than this: to blackmail our country into the war going on in our neighbor by applying constant pressure."
