Hungarian PM slams European Parliament for ‘attacks’ amid energy crisis

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s right-wing Fidesz party slammed the European Parliament (EP) for “being occupied with attacking Hungary even in the midst of the current crises”.

“While the people of Europe are suffering from an energy crisis due to the failed Brussels sanctions, the most important thing for the leftist European Parliament, even in this crisis situation, is to attack Hungary,” Fidesz said in a statement on Thursday, reacting to a rule-of-law vote in EP against his government earlier in the day.

The EP adopted a report by French MEP Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield on the “Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded”.
