Ujhelyi accuses govt of lying about EU resources

Socialist Party MEP Istvan Ujhelyi on Tuesday accused the government of lying in connection with European Union resources. Ujhelyi told an online press conference that a letter he had received from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on August 24 showed that the Hungarian government had so far not taken any official steps to draw down loans available from the European Union recovery fund. Despite claims that Hungary is not receiving monies from the EU, the government has not even submitted a proper and detailed plan to Brussels, only "sent a letter of communication", Ujhelyi said.
