Tamás Deutsch: Hungary is part of the EU’s civil protection program
According to the MSZP, Hungary, together with all members of the European Union, is part of the union’s civil protection program, the head of the Fidesz-KDNP European Parliament (EP) delegation said in a video statement sent to the MTI on Sunday.
Tamás Deutsch explained that “István Ujhelyi, a member of the left-wing MEP from Gyurcsány-Márki-Zay, stated today that Hungary was not the only one participating in the European Union’s joint civil protection assistance program.”
“This statement of the last member of the European Parliament of the MSZP is such a lie that it is even human from the Secretary of State of the Gyurcsány government,” the pro-government politician said.
He emphasized that “the truth against István Ujhelyi’s lie” is that Hungary, together with all members of the European Union, is part of the community’s civil protection program.
The Hungarian representative will receive an extremely large amount of medical supplies to Ukraine, including Transcarpathia and beyond, in order to activate the government and within the framework of this civil protection program, said Tamás Deutsch.
He emphasized that “he who gives quickly gives twice”, and in the spirit of this, Hungary has already provided 600 million forints in aid and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which was suffering from the war, before the joint European Union civil protection program.
Tamás Deutsch emphasized that the “robust humanitarian program in Hungary” preceded EU support. “We did not expect the European Union to be bureaucratic, but our tangible support for Ukraine as soon as possible,” he said.
The pro-government politician asked the representatives of the Hungarian left to “make it more difficult to provide humanitarian aid by inventing more and more lies and spreading them, but if they have the opportunity and time, they should take part in it”.
He emphasized that the Hungarian people were moving at the same time and helping the refugees arriving in Hungary.
“We are helping Ukraine, we are helping the Hungarians of Transcarpathia and all other nationalities living in Ukraine,” said Tamás Deutsch.
