Hungary's ruling party, Fidesz, launches anti-Semitic attacks against philanthropists, journalists & others, spreading deranged conspiracy theories:

Throughout it all - with every step that the Hungarian ruling party has destroyed democracy and brought dictatorship to the heart of the EU - the European People's Party @EPP has stood by it, refusing to #ExpelFidesz from the party group.

The @EPP president, @donaldtuskEPP, has even said an infamous Nazi legal expert would be “proud” of Orbán.

Yet Tusk absurdly remains the head of the European People's Party despite Fidesz’s ongoing membership.

So, @EPP, will it ever end? Is there nothing that will stop you from supporting the party that is now running a dictatorship in Hungary?

The party that your own president compared to Nazis?

Looking forward to your reply.

Does this mean the @EPP is avoiding a decision to #ExpelFidesz yet again?

The European People's Party keeps enabling a dictator...

The European People’s Party has had years to #ExpelFidesz. Instead, they stood by & supported the destruction of democracy in Hungary under their partner party there. Now, they’re blaming Covid for not doing it... 🙄

Prepare for @EPP’s next excuse: “The dog ate my homework.”

Hey, I can't quite recall. Which European party group is Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s ruling GERB party in?

@EPP, would you happen to know?

"Hungary heads EU anti-fraud investigation list - again"

Congratulations, Viktor Orbán & Fidesz!

And congratulations, @donaldtuskEPP & the whole @EPP! Orbán couldn't have done it without you!
