Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called for the withdrawal of a suit against Hungary initiated by the European People's Party, Socialist and Liberal groups of the European Parliament.
Opening parliament's spring session on Monday, PM Orbán said: "The Hungarian opposition parties in Brussels, with the exception of Our Homeland, are also suing Hungary."
The EPP, of which Hungary's opposition Tisza Party is a member, and the European Socialists, which includes the Democratic Coalition, have launched the suit against Hungary with the aim of "taking away funds owed to the country", the prime minister said.
According to PM Orbán, the European Union has paid out EU funds worth 3,200 billion forints in the current financial cycle. "The funds owed to us, and what we have fought for, are arriving on a continuous basis; this is what Tisza, the Socialists, Democratic Coalition and Momentum want to snatch," he said, calling on them to drop their action.
Meanwhile, he said Europeans "are fed up" with Brussels bureaucrats "forcing migrants on them" and they "can hardly wait to rebel" "Let us help them!"
The prime minister insisted that parliament should not withdraw Hungary's child protection law "in the face of Brussels' demands" but "take further steps in child protection". "Child protection comes before anything else; the constitution and laws must ensure that," he added.
