József Szájer, a Hungarian MEP, was caught participating in a gay orgy with 25 men in Brussels, Belgium and now announced that he will leave his party, the conservative nationalist Fidesz.
In statements to the portal Magyarnemzet.hu, the head of the Hungarian Government Viktor Orbán accepted the decision of the until now MEP, although he accused him of having acted in a incompatible with party values.
“We will not forget or deny his work for (the last) 30 years, but what he has done is unacceptable and indefensible,” said the Hungarian prime minister.
Szájer, a man very close to Orbán and one of the founders of Fidesz, unleashed the scandal last week when Belgian police found him at a party and orgy at a gay club in Brussels, where all the participants were fined for not respecting social restrictions of the pandemic.
The Belgian authorities also opened a investigation against Szájer for alleged “violation of the legislation on narcotics“Since when the uniformed men entered the building, the MEP tried to escape through a pipe, but was arrested and the agents found drugs in his backpack.
They accuse Szájer’s “hypocrisy”
The ultra-conservative Hungarian politician, 59 years old and married to a judge of the Constitutional Court from Hungary, he had suddenly resigned over the weekend, shortly before news of the orgy broke.
Mouth was one of the drafters of the Hungarian Constitution of 2011, which reduced the rights of homosexuals by determining that marriage is the union of a man and a woman.
The founder of the European Coalition for Security and LGTBI Equality, Rémy Bonny, criticized the “hypocrisy” of the MEP: “We have seen attacks on the LGTBI community orchestrated by the Orbán government and ten years ago Mr. Szájer was one of the architects of the Constitution (…) in which basically gay marriage is constitutionally prohibited and now it is proven that he himself is homosexual, “he said.
The activist added that “the Hungarian media, especially the tabloids and government-related newspapers, have tried to silence this case” and simply say that the politician was “at an illegal party, without pointing out that it was a gay or gay party. that there were drugs involved. “
“This news comes at a very particular time, given that there is a proposal in the Hungarian Parliament for a law that can prohibit adoptions by same-sex couples“, he warned.
Szájer entered Hungarian politics as one of the founders of Fidesz in 1988 and led the party’s parliamentary group for years, while since 2004 he has been a MEP, always within the European People’s Party (EPP), to which this formation belongs. although it is suspended.
