Meet the MEP caught in a gay orgy, who is married, has a daughter and is ultra-conservative – World

It is the name that is in the mouths of the world (and not for the best reasons): József Szájer, Hungarian MEP, was caught on the roast Friday fleeing a gay orgy in Brussels, Belgium, after the police entered the apartment where he was the sex party with 25 men, outside the tight restrictions imposed in the country.

The 29-year-old Hungarian was caught by the authorities after going out a window and down a pipe, naked, cutting himself. The politician would later confirm his presence at the orgy.

“The news in the Belgian press reports about a private party in Brussels on Friday. I was present. The police asked for my identification and, since I did not have it, said I was an MEP. The police continued the proceedings and then I received a warning, took me home. I don’t use drugs and I even offered to be tested for drugs. They didn’t. The police say they found ecstasy [na minha mochila], but it wasn’t mine, I don’t know how it got there and who put it there, “wrote József.

Assuming that he regrets “immensely violating Covid-19 restrictions”, he resigned from office on Sunday, apologizing “to family, colleagues and voters”, stressing that “the misstep was strictly personal” and that it is him “the one responsible” for what happened.

The resignation was well received within the party founded by József Szájer, the Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Union, the far-right party to which Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán belongs. It is a glaring case of the old story of “do what I say, do not do what I do”, because Szájer was one of the authors of the constitutional revision that prohibited same-sex marriage, just as he has always been a serious opponent the rights of the LGBTQIA + community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and others).

More: József Szájer is married to Tünde Handó, a judge at the Hungarian Constitutional Court, and has a daughter, Fanni.

Szájer graduated as a lawyer at Eötvös Lorán University (ELTE), in Budapest, in 1986. In this institution he was a professor for 10 years, in the chair of Roman Law, while attending Balliol University, in Oxford, England. He also did research at the University of Michigan, USA, until 1989, having passed the Bar exams in 1996. Then he started to work as a lawyer.

The political journey begins when I was still an investigator. With Viktor Orbán, the current prime minister (he served another previous term between 1998 and 2002), he founded Fidesz, having been elected deputy in the Hungarian parliament in 1990 – he remained in office until he took the ‘leap’ to the European Parliament, in 2004. Between 1994 and 2002 he was the party’s party leader.

In 2010, with the election of Orbán to the post of prime minister, a series of political changes took place in the country that came to be classified in Europe as the institution of a “controlled democracy”: the populist and ultraconservative aspect The party expressed its full strength, with anti-immigration positions, Orbán’s racist and xenophobic statements, and a movement to control the country’s media. More than 400 media (90% of the total existing in the country) belong to the Central European Press and Media Foundation group, a company run by businessmen, friends and people close to the government of Orbán.

It is at this time that Szájer has one of the ‘highlights’ of his political career: he is appointed by his friend and confidant Orbán to chair the Hungarian Constitution Review Committee and as the head of the national advisory committee. As the party had a qualified majority in parliament (68%), constitutional revision was possible.

József Szájer designed the document on his iPad and instituted several measures, including several in defense of what he described as “the traditional family”, such as the ban on abortion, and a great emphasis on defining marriage, as being only between one man and a woman, repudiating national and international requests that gay marriage be allowed in the country.

It is precisely because of this point that criticisms of hypocrisy are pointed out, but it is not the first scandal about his sex life in which he finds himself involved. In 2015, Klára Ungár, a member of the Alliance of Free Democrats, admittedly a lesbian, declared that Szájer and Máté Kocsis, the current party leader of Fidezs, were “gays in the closet”. Kocsis filed a defamation suit against the opponent, won in the first instance but lost on appeal. Szájer never reacted to the statements, adding to the chorus of mistrust.

Viktor Orbán has already broken the silence about the ‘adventures’ of his friend and his right-hand man and does not forgive him. “What our party member József Szájer did does not fit the values ​​of our political community. We will not forget and deny his 30 years of work, but his actions are not acceptable and cannot be defended”, accused the Hungarian Prime Minister.

With the resignation already presented, Szájer will step down in late December. His departure coincides with the Hungarian government’s ferocious attack on the European Union’s equity plan, which aims to strengthen the rights of women, girls and the rights of the LGBTQI + community, in Europe and the world, “to challenge gender norms and stereotypes” .
