BUDAPEST/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hungarian politician Jozsef Szajer, who was conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s strongest voice in the European Parliament, resigned from his ruling party as more details emerged of how he fled a gay sex party in Brussels by clambering down a gutter.
The affair is an embarrassment to Orban, a right-wing nationalist whose Fidesz party espouses its view of traditional Christian and family values and has campaigned against the country’s LGBT community.
Orban told the Magyar Nemzet newspaper that Szajer’s actions were “indefensible”.
“He took the only appropriate decision when he apologised and resigned from his position as member of the European Parliament and left Fidesz,” Orban said.
