We will not examine the party background, but rather the professional content and integrity. Zoltán Tarr stated regarding the scrutiny of state support granted to ethnic Hungarian organizations beyond the borders that particularly those cases should be investigated where the amount of individual support significantly increased in the year of the elections and in the preceding period.

Costa wants the member states to reach an agreement this year – a point acknowledged by the member states in the conclusions of the June summit – as next year it may become more difficult due to various elections (the largest being in France, Italy, and Poland, but there will also be elections in Estonia, Finland, Greece, and Slovakia). This would be especially challenging if, for example, Marine Le Pen were to become the French president, as she has already promised to halve France's contribution. #EurópaiUnió #költségvetés #EUcsúcs (translated)
