Foreign Countries Again Endeavoring to Determine Hungary's Government

Hungary-hating Manfred Weber and the European People's Party (EPP) are once again trying to put external pressure on Hungary. The Weber camp put out a post on X with a picture of a little girl holding a Hungarian flag nd text suggesting that the country deserves better leadership to bring Hungary back into the European fold and to fight corruption.

"A frontal attack on Hungarian sovereignty was taking place at the EU summit, and Brussels is presumably trying to intervene in yet another area of Hungarian domestic politics," the state secretary for international communications of the PM's Office told Kossuth Radio's Sunday morning news program. As Magyar Nemzet reported earlier, Zoltan Kovacs said that at the summit, Prime Minister Viktor Orban wanted to discuss the program of the Hungarian EU presidency and the adoption of a competitiveness pact, but instead there was a "frontal attack on Hungary's sovereignty and government".

According to the state secretary, the Brussels institutions and bureaucrats will also take positions on such Hungarian party-politics issues in the future, that they have so far not tried to do.
