Jörg Meuthen, November 17, 2020, Poland and Hungary

AfD Kompakt, November 17, 2020

It is no doubt curious when German interests, calculated in regards the EU budget, are represented from Warsaw and Budapest and not from Berlin. But exactly that is certainly the case. Since, by means of the veto of Poland and Hungary of the EU’s multi-year financial framework and of the so-called Corona assistance, a further plundering of Germany will meanwhile be prevented. Germany, as the largest net payer, would once again receive little reciprocal benefit.  

It is worthy of remark that Poland and Hungary would count as the net profiters of the 1.8 trillion euro heavy package, yet block it. They do not want payments of EU money to be tied to adherence to legal standards. Since they quite precisely know that the EU defines these legal standards very selectively and in the sense of their leftist-globalist agenda…This hypocrisy and attempted extortion is rejected in Warsaw and Budapest. Not all and each are for sale.

We hope that Poland and Hungary now remain steadfast. For with the complete package of the multi-year framework, with its borrowing, control of capital and mechanisms of the state of law, the EU would go an additional, large step in the direction of statehood. We categorically reject that.
