Anna Donáth: Europe and Viktor Orbán will choose Hungary next spring – we also talked about this with Macron today
I also called on the French President to point out that parallel realities have developed in Hungary.
“Europe and Viktor Orbán will choose Hungary next spring – we also talked about this with French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Budapest today. Péter Márki-Zay, Gergely Karácsony and Klára Dobrev also took part in the meeting.
I made it clear that the spring elections are also about whether Hungary will finally get the money we are not receiving now because of the corruption of the Hungarian government. In other words, only after the change of government, under the leadership of Péter Márki-Zay, can we build an anti-corruption guarantee that ensures that EU money reaches where it is intended: hospitals, schools, jobs. French President Macron also understands what we have been talking about in the European Parliament since our election: that Viktor Orbán is not equal to Hungary.
We agreed that the rule of law cannot be a bargain: a strong, just and humane Europe can only be based on rock-solid values, a functioning democracy. The European Union can only be as strong as the participating democracies – and it does not matter how Hungary and the government demolish democratic institutions (either to divert EU funds or to preserve their own power).
I also called on Viktor Orbán to propagate in Hungary because the propaganda was completely real, because due to the destruction of independent newspapers and the development of information paid for with public money, some of the Hungarians did not get it. ”
