Gergely Gulyás, Head of the Prime Minister's Office, said the Tisza party represents the position of the European Commission and the European People's Party "in exchange for support from Brussels".
Responding to a question on the opposition party's role in the European Union, Gulyás said that after the European parliamentary debate, there was "no question that Brussels openly wants to interfere in Hungarian domestic politics and that it also has a protege."
Gulyás said the "price" of its support was that whenever Hungarian interests went against that of the EC and EPP, Tisza would likely represent the stance of the latter "and interpret Hungarian interests flexibly".
