Ruling party Fidesz has said that left-wing Hungarian MEPs possibly maintained links with the defendant in a corruption scandal in Brussels.
Fidesz communications director István Hollik said that based on reports about the Brussels corruption scandal, there was “strong suspicion” that “MEPs of the dollar left-wing”, including Klára Dobrev and István Ujhelyi possibly maintained links with the primary defendant in the scandal, former vice president of the EP Eva Kaili. The “dollar left-wing” denies this, but they shared Facebook entries and photos including “grinning selfies” showing that links with Kaili went further than being work colleagues, Hollik said. He called on members of the “dollar left-wing” to talk openly about alleged foreign influence in Hungary’s parliamentary elections last year, as well as “their role in the Brussels corruption scandal”.
