What they voted for in Brussels — what they denied at home. The votes of Fidesz MEPs confronted with the Orban government's domestic communication.
Since 2010, the Orban government has consistently proclaimed a "freedom fight" against Brussels. Migration, Russian sanctions, rule of law, the EU budget — all areas where the gap between domestic communication and actual European Parliament voting regularly yawns wide.
This database chronologically documents the votes of Fidesz MEPs on the most important issues, and confronts them with what Viktor Orban and government media claimed at home about the same matters.
