Tisza Party, EPP Preparing for Ukraine’s 2030 EU Membership for Months

Peter Magyar’s party has once again been unmasked. In a recent statement, Gabriella Gerzsenyi, MEP for the Tisza Party, revealed that her party is actively involved in the preparatory process for Ukraine’s potential EU accession in 2030. In biweekly consultations with the European People’s Party and other allies, they are addressing critical topics such as the future of the Common Agricultural Policy and the broader impact of EU enlargement. The Tisza Party has previously committed to supporting Ukraine’s European integration. Nearly 60 percent of their followers believe that Ukraine belongs in the EU.

Tisza Working Toward Ukraine's Fast-Tracked Accession

The meeting also touched on pre-accession funding, suggesting the EU is already investing significant resources to prepare potential new member states.

So it is important that we are prepared for their possible accession in this budget package. It is also very important that as soon as a country becomes an EU member state, it will be eligible for EU subsidies, and it is also worth knowing that there are so-called pre-accession funds,

she explained.

 The cooperation between the Tisza Party and the EPP in this matter signals a growing consensus around supporting Ukraine’s accession. 

This kind of groundwork could prove vital for implementing the plans set out by Brussels, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen—with a court ruling against her—and openly pro-Ukraine and pro-war EPP leader Manfred Weber.

However, Ukraine's accession before 2030 carries significant risks. Ukraine's membership could have a significant impact on the EU's agricultural sector, given the country's vast arable land and agricultural potential.

The regularity of these informal meetings—held every two weeks—demonstrates that the EPP and its allies, including the Tisza Party, are taking Ukraine’s potential EU membership very seriously. Their approach indicates that 2030 is viewed as a realistic target date for Ukraine’s accession.
