The opposition parties in parliament are “reducing” meetings of the national security committee to “campaign sessions”, the committee’s deputy head for ruling Fidesz said on Thursday.
Speaking at a press conference, Szilárd Németh accused opposition delegates to the committee of bringing forward issues and topics that are “obviously lies, bluffs and fake news that come up in the press and don’t belong in the national security committee’s sessions”.
The work of the committee is regulated by law, he noted, adding that it has completed all its tasks for the current term.
Németh said he believed there were still issues that would be worth discussing in the committee. He mentioned as an example recently leaked recordings “that clearly prove what civil groups funded by [US financier George] Soros are doing in the country” or “how many more crime-affiliated organisations Jobbik leader Gábor Vona wants to be in contact with”.
“But this is not easy as long as Soros’s people are sitting on the committee,” Németh said.
He called on voters to elect a parliament on April 8 whose national security committee would not include “Soros’s people”.
