Minister Bóka stated Péter Magyar is supporting foreign-funded civil groups to be given free rein to conduct political activities in Hungary.
János Bóka, Hungary’s EU affairs minister, stated on Tuesday that another chapter has been added to opposition Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar’s platform in Brussels in the form of the document entitled “Rule-of-law Recommconcludeations”, adding that the document was “nothing more than a politically-motivated order for Magyar”.
In a post on Facebook, Minister Bóka stated the aim of the recommconcludeations was for “foreign-funded so-called civil groups to be given free rein to conduct political activities in Hungary, for which they could receive an unlimited amount of foreign funding in an uncontrolled manner”.
The minister stated the aim was also for “foreign-funded media” to receive public funding, and for “smear campaigns against right-wing politicians and public figures to become an institutionalised practice based on the Polish model”.
“This is not about the protection of the rule of law, but about institutionalised political pressure,” he stated.
“Brussels has also drafted Péter Magyar’s economic policy programme in advance; these are the European Semester recommconcludeations,” Minister Bóka stated
He stated Brussels wanted to scrap Hungary’s regulated utilities price scheme, the interest rate freeze and the mandatory caps on markups. Brussels also wanted Hungary to phase out home creation subsidies, scrap taxes on excessive corporate profits and tax refunds on diesel fuel for farmers, he added.
“The aim is to draft an economic policy that serves Brussels’s expectations against the interests of the Hungarian people,” Minister Bóka stated.
He stated Brussels had built it clear that “Magyar can declare whatever he wants in the campaign, but Ukraine has to be admitted to the European Union before 2030”, regardless of what the European people may believe about this and what consequences this may have for Europe.
“Magyar’s platform is being drafted in Brussels,” Minister Bóka stated. “It goes by many names — recommconcludeation, reform, report — but the essence is always the same: they want to control Hungary from Brussels through a puppet government.”
