Fidesz MEP: 'EP groups' letter to withhold EU funds stab in the back for Poland'

The recent letter by five European parliamentary groups calling on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to withhold post-pandemic economic recovery funds from Poland is a "stab in the back for Poland", MEP of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party Kinga Gal said in Brussels on Tuesday. The five left-wing groups -- the Socialists, the Greens, Renew Europe, the radical left GUE-NGL and the European People's Party shifting to the left -- have published the letter just when there would be a pressing need to express solidarity with Poland that is facing enormous migrant pressure along its eastern border, she told Hungarian reporters.
