Fidesz MEP calls out Tisza Party

While Tisza leader Péter Magyar stayed away from the vote last week, Tisza MEPs voted in favour of proposals “based on which more funding will be earmarked for LGBTQ propaganda”, Csaba Dömötör said on Facebook.

The proposals involve ensuring sufficient funding to promote the protection of LGBTQ+ rights and further strengthen the work of NGOs and journalists in this area, he said.

In another vote, Tisza MEPs contributed to the withholding of EU funding “Hungary is entitled to”, he said.

The MEPs’ votes outlined “a clear Tisza policy, namely that funding should flow into the migrant pact promoting redistribution and into sensitivity training, but not to Hungary,” Dömötör said.

“What we see here is the same old liberal record,” Dömötör said.
