In a video posted on Facebook, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the opposition Tisza Party’s MEPs in Brussels are working to make Hungary unsuccessful.
Making reference to earlier remarks by Tisza MEP Kinga Kollár, PM Orbán said: "If I take a closer look at what she said, it sounds like something [former PM] Ferenc Gyurcsány could have said, even though one of them is of the old opposition, and the other of the new one."
"We woke up this morning and started working," PM Orbán said. "We worked so that our family and our homeland could prosper, and to have a good working community. We worked to make Hungary successful."
"Kinga Kollár and the other Tisza MEPs woke up in Brussels this morning, and for a salary worth 7-8-9 million forints (EUR 17,000-22,000) the worked … to make Hungary unsuccessful … with the aim of preventing hospitals from being fixed, preventing higher quality public services and the construction of roads," the prime minister said. "That’s what they’ve been working for all day. These are our compatriots in Brussels."
"The way I see it, our opponents are the same people as in the past, it’s just that their party’s name is different," PM Orbán said.
