Hungarian European Parliament member József Szájer, 59, representing the ruling conservative Fidesz Party, unexpectedly resigned November 29, citing personal reasons.
"Those who are on the battlefield must be in a state of combat readiness," Szájer wrote in his resignation letter.
A Dutch-language newspaper based in Antwerp wrote that two days prior to his resignation, on Friday, November 27, Brussels police had raided an illegal party with over 20 attendees, in violation of current coronavirus restrictions, which include a curfew between 10 pm and 6 am. Several Hungarian and Belgian outlets rapidly picked up the story. Szájer was identified as being at the party and later admitted it.
News reports say the outspoken anti-gay politician, who crafted the nation's anti-same-sex marriage law, had attended what they revealed was a "gay orgy" of at least "25 men."
András Pulai, CEO of a Hungarian liberal think-tank, wondered why only Szájer's name was released. His Fidesz Party is staunchly anti-EU. Pulai sees a political motive for selectively releasing Szájer's involvement.
"If there were many important people there, why has only Fidesz's most important EU politician been named (so far)?"
