Tamás Deutsch, a Fidesz MEP, asserted that the Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, has entered into a political understanding with the European People's Party (EPP).

According to Deutsch, this agreement stipulates that a government formed by Magyar's party would enforce the provisions of the EU's migration pact within Hungary. He highlighted this alleged deal as particularly significant, suggesting it represents a shift in Hungary's stance on migration policy.

It turned out that the People's Party agreed with the Tisza Party that Péter Magyar's government will implement the migration pact in Hungary.

— Tamás DeutschDescribing the alleged political agreement between the EPP and the Tisza Party.

Deutsch's statement implies that the Tisza Party, which has been vocal about its European aspirations, is prepared to align with EPP policies on migration. He framed this as a notable development, especially given the perceived silence from Magyar's party on the specifics of implementing such a pact.

Deutsch further suggested that the EPP views Hungary's new government as a crucial partner for European cooperation. He implied that the alleged agreement on the migration pact is a key component of this evolving relationship, contrasting it with the perceived evasiveness of Magyar's party on the issue.

Then this is what Péter Magyar's people have been deeply silent about and evading for days.
