The MEP group of the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance said on Wednesday that the European Parliament’s "grand coalition", with the backing of Hungary’s opposition Tisza and Democratic Coalition (DK) parties, voted to continue the war.

The MEP group said in a statement that the EP, in a plenary session on Wednesday, held a vote on the legislative assembly’s plans regarding the 2026 European Union budget.

They cited Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch as saying that the Patriots for Europe (PfE) group and Fidesz and the Christian Democrats had rejected the "pro-war" parliamentary text, which they said had also "attacked member states’ sovereignty, supported illegal migration and spread gender madness".

"The grand coalition of parties of Péter Magyar, [Ferenc] Gyurcsany and Momentum in Brussels, on the other hand, wants to allocate further billions of euros to the war, the Soros organisations which have been deemed ineligible for US funding, the left-liberal media and political activists," the statement said. These opposition parties, the group added, also favored the implementation of the EU’s migration pact and continued to force the Green Deal.

They cited Deutsch as saying that the EP resolution backed by the "Brussels grand coalition", Tisza and DK called for ensuring the implementation of the asylum and migration pact and the "continuation of the rule-of-law jihad". The resolution, he added, also called for more military aid for Ukraine.

Deutsch said the Hungarian opposition parties had voted down the PfE group’s proposals, including one calling for the European Commission to withdraw a "discriminatory decision" that excludes Hungarian universities and researchers from the EU's Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe programmes. They had also rejected a proposal to unfreeze EU funds for Hungary, he said.
