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.”
This is the most laughable shit ever. Hungary is currently the one country in the EU where the government was cowed into not celebrating one of the biggest national remembrance days because it would have offended the Russians. There is a large Soviet monument in downtown Budapest that no one dares to touch.
Russian intelligence services have full access to Hungarian classified data. Russian agents operate with impunity and above the Hungarian law in Hungary. Hungary is trying but unable to get out of Chinese and Russian contracts since they are impossible to fulfil in the current political climate.
