The Fidesz MEP has begun exposing the issue in Brussels: despite Weber-led grand coalition's decision, which allows the Patriots for Europe group to review only two (!) funding contracts, Domotor has launched a series of data requests as a private citizen. He believes that the exposure of the Hungary-bashing Frans Timmermans—who has secretly funneled millions of euros to pseudo-civil organizations to protest for Brussels’s interests and topple national governments—is just "the tip of the iceberg." The MEP also addressed the challenges posed by the Tisza Party, asserting:
"In Hungary’s history, there has never been majority support for those tailoring their politics to foreign expectations, and there won’t be one now either," he stated.
"Through USAID, $34 million was spent on only Politico, the Brussels mouthpiece, alone. This is a staggering amount. In return, the paper even congratulated Brussels leaders on their birthdays," he remarked. the MEP added that it’s "very revealing that many activist groups around the world are suddenly facing operational difficulties or suspending activities when U.S. government funding ceases"—proof, in his view, that "without direct political financing, these organizations aren’t viable."
Brussels doesn’t know what transparency is
In response to questions from interviewer Gergely Huth, Domotor highlighted the hypocrisy of the Brussels elite: "While they constantly accuse the Hungarian government of corruption and a lack of transparency, they refuse to put corruption scandals like Timmermans’s or the USAID case on the European Parliament’s agenda."
Remarkably, the Weber-led coalition has ensured that signed contracts remain confidential. Access is limited by number of committee seats, allowing the Patriots for Europe group to view just two agreements." Domotor noted the contrast: "Hungarian ministries must publish every contract weekly, prompting public debates on spending. Imagine the outrage if Hungary's MP Akos Hadhazy could only review one contract!
He vowed not to let the matter rest, continuing to file data requests as an EU citizen despite the "shockingly and perhaps uncoincidentally very user-unfriendly" European Commission data portal.
