The European parliamentary plenary on Wednesday, which Prime Minister Viktor Orban attended, was "the height of hypocrisy" on the part of the left-liberal majority, and EC President Ursula von der Leyen had held a campaign speech against Hungary, an EU member state, an MEP of ruling Fidesz said in Strasbourg.
The interview Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony gave to news portal Telex on Monday is "full of lies and self-contradictions", the leader of the opposition Tisza Party told MTI.
Public Prosecutor Peter Polt has turned to the President of the European Parliament, requesting lifting the immunity of MEP Peter Magyar, the leader of the opposition Tisza party, based on evidence that has surfaced against him in an investigation on suspicion of theft, the Public Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
Leader of the opposition Tisza Party Peter Magyar "had no ideas or convictions; he didn't want change in the country," the politician's former partner, Evelin Vogel, told news portal Index in an interview published on Wednesday, adding that people did not see the real Magyar as "he is not what he seems".
