Irish Examiner view: Hungarian MEP's gross hypocrisy

Jozsef Szajer found with drugs as he fled a gay orgy down a drainpipe

Jozsef Szajer is a strident member of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s (front, right) Fidesz party, which campaigned forcefully to intimidate and limit gay rights in Hungary.

Hungarian MEP Jozsef Szajer is not the first, and he certainly won’t be the last, politician obliged to resign because he broke a rule all of us are expected to observe. 

Szajet was, according to Belgian prosecutors, found with drugs as he tried to flee a gay orgy, reportedly by shinning down a drainpipe, in central Brussels last Friday. The courts will deal with the drug accusation and Covid-19 restrictions in a country with almost 17,000 Covid-19 deaths in a population of 11.5m.
