Manfred Weber Has Peter Magyar in His Pocket

The Tisza Party has shown support for Ukraine's EU membership despite claims of independence within the EPP. MEP Gabriella Gerzsenyi revealed informal negotiations began in December 2024 regarding EU enlargement, with discussions on Ukraine and Moldova's potential accession by 2030. Despite Peter Magyar's opposition to Ukraine's membership, a majority of his supporters favor it, as evidenced by a misleading referendum. The Tisza Party's pro-Ukraine stance was highlighted by a recent European Parliament vote supporting increased financial aid to Ukraine. Notably, Magyar was absent during key votes, indicating a lack of independent representation within the EPP.
