During the questioning, a
Socialist (MSZP) representative and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán argued for minutes about the government’s epidemic response. According to
The political left sought to gain advantage to the detriment of Hungary when it called for blocking European Union funding to the country, Antal Rogán, the cabinet chief, said late on Sunday.
Rogán told pro-Fidesz news broadcaster Hír TV’s evening programme that the blocking of funding would have harmed Hungarian businesses and farmers but the Hungarian left would have accepted it in hope of winning the 2022 parliamentary elections.
The recent agreement reached on the EU budget and recovery fund has been the victory of common sense because swift action is what matters most at the time of a pandemic and assistance must not be tied to political conditions, he said.
