'Petty Attack' on Hungarian Member Of EU Audit Office, Claims Fidesz

Ildikó Gáll Pelcz, a Hungarian member of the European Court of Auditors, has suffered a “petty leftist political attack”, MEPs of ruling Fidesz said in a statement.

Gáll Pelcz, nominated for another term in the audit office, was interviewed in the European Parliament Committee for Budgetary Control, where leftist members of the body “voted against her clearly for political reasons and in disregard of all professional arguments”, the statement said.

Signatories to the statement insisted that Gáll Pelz was “one of the most suited and most excellent members” of the audit office.

The EP is scheduled to vote on Gáll Pelz’s re-election on June 1, while the final decision is up to the European Council, the MEPs said.
