Mrs. Gyurcsány caught in the act

Klára Dobrev toured Berlin on Friday, discussing corruption in Hungary with, ironically, the German chancellor who’s up to his neck in Germany’s biggest corruption scandal to date.

If anyone still doesn't fully understand how Hungary’s left-liberal parties are inflicting thousands of billions of euros of damage on the country, just take a look at Klára Dobrev's tour of Berlin on Friday.

Former Socialist prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány's wife, a member of the European Parliament, paid a visit to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and they reportedly discussed the suspension of EU funds to Hungary. Mrs. Gyurcsány, of course, went to Berlin with their usual claims of corruption.

Another charming detail of the meeting was that it was Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his government who had allegedly just pulled off the biggest tax evasion scandal in German history, so if Mrs. Gurcsány went to attend some sort of “corruption training, she was definitely in the right place. I’m not joking, they even published a book about it. 

In short, it's great that the state of Hungary’s corruption is keeping Mrs. Gyurcsány and the corruption-ridden German Chancellor up at night, but maybe, to borrow a Hungarian saying, they should be sweeping around their own houses first. 

And we will not take lectures from Hungarian-Bulgarian Communists who have made their fortune in predatory privatization and who have already ruined this country once. Remember that in 2010, PM Orbán’s government had to pull the country back from the edge of bankruptcy.

One thing is certain: despite all their threats, the Hungarian Government is seeking a fair solution with the European Commission and is fully committed to delivering on its commitments. We will do our utmost to ensure that Hungary gets the EU funds it deserves.
