Deprive and Conquer! No Hungarian MEP Has Ever Committed Such a Despicable Act

Solely in the field of transport, twenty-three large-scale development and modernization projects had to be canceled in Hungary because Brussels is thwarting government investments in a bid to support the pro-Ukraine opposition, Janos Lazar pointed out. The transport minister described it as an unprecedented act of vileness that Kinga Kollar, in a speech that can be considered an admission, welcomed the worsening living conditions of Hungarian people. In her widely quoted recent speech, the Tisza Party’s MEP not only highlighted problems with hospitals, but also cited the poor state of railways, which is particularly appalling given that last summer, Peter Magyar campaigned not only at healthcare institutions waiting for EU funds, but also in regions where the blocked funds affect railway lines.

In her speech, Kinga Kollar not only welcomed the canceling of hospital renovations but also talked about rail lines in need of upgrading and the low speed of trains as a result.

"And if you look at the Hungarian railway lines, it’s a kind of tragedy. On some lines the speed is actually now lower than 150-170 years before," she said.

Two Dozen Major Cuts

Janos Lazar quantified the damage caused by what he called the collusion between Brussels and the Hungarian opposition, as revealed by Kollar’s remarks. The minister listed 23 major projects that have not been carried out because of the pact between Brussels and the opposition. These include railway track and station renovations, suburban rail and tram line developments, and vehicle purchases—all investments that would have made public transport faster and more comfortable.

Is there anyone who can't remember that last summer, Peter Magyar spent weeks fuming over conditions at the very healthcare institutions whose upgrading had to be suspended because the EU is withholding the necessary funds?

The leader of the Tisza Party then also appeared on those railway lines — issuing harsh criticism, particularly about travel times — where modernization had to be suspended by the Hungarian government because the EU is blocking the necessary funding for clearly political reasons.

The Goal of te Pact

The goal of the pact between Brussels and the Tisza Party becomes perfectly clear from Kinga Kollar's closing remarks. The MEP for the Tisza Party said: "On the positive side, the deteriorating standard of living has actually strengthened the opposition. And there I am very positive about the 2026 elections."
