The European People’s Party (EPP) is “chasing a witch” against its most successful member, Péter Szijjártó, foreign minister and trade minister, told a news conference Thursday. The minister found it strange that he was disenfranchising one of the best-performing EPP Group members.
In response to questions from journalists at a press conference on another topic, the Minister said that
If the sister parties of the Popular Party had behaved similarly to Fidesz in the last European elections, they would now be a much stronger group and would not need the support of the Greens and Socialists, and would not have to move away from the EPP. Hungary has joined the EU.

As a so-called “blanket comment”, the politician drew attention to the fact that while the president of the European People’s Party was drawing a parallel between one of the main Nazi ideologues and the Hungarian prime minister, and
For ten years, Hungary has had to face “anti-Semitic, dictatorial and authoritarian accusations” every day, and they are expected to “get a good image”.
However, when, he added, they are faced with an unpleasant statement, immediately “it is treated as a stroke and the story is cut.”
