Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday he was ready to discuss the new funding mechanism outlined in the European Commission's recent budget proposal for 2021-2027, MTI reports.
Before the inaugural meeting of the new Fidesz parliamentary group in Budapest on Thursday, Orban was also asked about the European Prosecutor's Office. He said that the Hungarian constitution treats the institution of the Public Prosecutor’s Office as an issue covered by national sovereignty, Kormany.hu writes.
In response to a question about whether talks with the leaders of the European People's Party (EPP) in Brussels on Wednesday made reference to the possibility of Fidesz leaving the family of parties, the Prime Minister said that the opposite had been the case: discussion had centred on how Fidesz could participate in the campaign for the European Parliament elections to enable the EPP to win. "I offered our help," he said.
