No matter whether it comes from Russia, overseas, or “any grey Brussels office,” there is no place for foreign interference in Hungary, Fidesz Member of the European Parliament Csaba Dömötör said Thursday on Facebook.

Referring to comments by Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar alleging a Russian operation to influence Hungarian internal affairs, Dömötör noted that supportive media outlets had amplified these claims over a single Russian press release. He then posed a series of questions regarding sovereignty, asking why there was no outcry when 4.5 billion forints were sent from abroad to fund the opposition’s campaign, or when Brussels leaders openly named preferred candidates for Hungary’s elections.

He also questioned the lack of reaction when EU funds were withheld for political purposes, and when billions were spent on NGOs, including unelected political activists, with further increases planned. Dömötör said that some of Magyar’s local campaign events were organized with Brussels-funded “civil organizations” that oppose Hungarian job-creating investments.

Highlighting recent debates over banning foreign funding for public activities, Dömötör argued that those now decrying foreign interference are themselves “part of and instruments of it.”

“Here, there has never been and never will be a majority for those whose politics, statements, and actions are dictated by outside expectations,” he said, adding that “Péter Magyar remains Manfred Weber’s man and candidate, regardless of public stunts.”
