Hungarian PM lashes out at Brussels for holding back billions of euros.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Thursday the European Commission is blackmailing Hungary by withholding billions in frozen funds over rule-of-law concerns.
Orbán said the blackmail is “a fact,” even admitted by the blackmailers themselves — members of the European Parliament.
“In our view, Hungary fulfils all the qualities of the rule of law, and when the European Commission has specific needs, we implement everything from them, and we are also cooperative,” Orbán told reporters in Budapest during a press conference. “You cannot blame me for doing everything I can to promote Hungary’s interests in such a blackmailed situation.”
And I hope they continue doing so, Hungary is slipping into fascism right now.
It’s not sliding in there, it is there.
The guy has a cult of personality, and the response to rule of law requirements from the EU has been the establishment of an authority without legal boundaries or oversight tht is totally not a secret police.
What else do you need to qualify?
