Hidveghi slams opposition for 'attacking national interests' in Brussels

Ruling Fidesz MEP Balazs Hidveghi said on Friday that it was shocking and unprecedented that Hungary's "pro-migration opposition was attacking national interests" in Brussels. Hidveghi told a press conference that instead of a professional debate at the hearing of Oliver Varhelyi, Hungary's nominee for European commissioner on Thursday, the "pro-migration forces" launched a purely political campaign against Varhelyi. In recent weeks, the Hungarian opposition was busy trying to block Varhelyi's appointment, he said. Their attempts are threatening the formation of the new European Commission, he added.
