Member of the European Parliament from Hungary Balázs Györffy announced that he is giving up his mandate as deputy leader. It was a dispute, when he hit a woman while he was drunk.
Györffy explained what he did to the voters openly on his Facebook page.*:
“Last night, while I was drunk, I had an argument with a woman, the argument turned violent, and I deeply regret it. Although I don’t remember what happened unfortunately, what I did was inappropriate.”
In addition to giving up his seat in the EP, he also ceased to be the chairman of the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture. The resignation of Balázs Györffy is certainly a blow to the Fidesz party, to which the Hungarian Prime Minister is affiliated. Victor Orban. However, this is not the first member of the European Parliament from the Fidesz party to resign as a result of the scandal. In 2020 Joseph Sayer he quit being European vice president after he was “caught” in Brussels at a sex party with two dozen men.
