Tamas Menczer: With Trump’s Arrival, Attention Focuses on Brussels Re Fate of Peace and War

When Donald Trump, the newly elected president of the United States, takes office, the world will change. The pro-war, pro-immigration, and pro-gender forces have lost in Washington leaving Brussels the most important battleground between proponents of these views and the peace-oriented forces of the future, Tamas Menczer, Hungary's Fidesz-Christian Democrats communications director, said on Kossuth Radio's Sunday news program.

He emphasizing that Hungary’s accounts hold 

All this shows that the same plays are going on here that we have seen before, and the playbook is written in Brussels.

The ruling party politician also dismissed claims about lost EU funds as misinformation, warning against being mislead by them.

€12.5 billion is on Hungary's accounts, and the government remains one of the best performers in securing EU funds. The prime minister has fought for these resources, and the government will secure the remaining funds without losing anything,

he stressed. In the latest national consultation, he pointed out, the Hungarian people made it clear that "they agree with our goals", and that "measures and decisions will be taken this year that have never been done before".

The communications director listed recent government initiatives, such as workers' loans, a housing subsidy of 150,000 forints (over 360 euros), the doubling of family tax benefits, and the preservation of the 13th-month pension, which he said will positively impact people’s lives.

While there is no peace yet, they are awaiting Donald Trump to take office. In the mean time Hungarian economic development has been building on connections and cooperation with the East and the West.

Giant investments will enter into the production phase this year, "battery factories will start producing", all of which will add percentages to GDP growth, he said.

Tamas Menczer added that in 2025, the interest burden on public debt will also fall significantly, and there are now one million more jobs than in 2010, and they have been protected despite the crises.

As for our opponents, these left-wing and disco-liberal figures, they only care about themselves, their own interests and the interests of their Brussels clients, while we care about the country, because Hungary comes first for us, as everyone can see and will continue to see this year, too.
