Hungarian Prime Minister’s anti-European speech
Hungary's prime minister has launched an all-out attack on the European Union at an election event of the Fidesz party, insisting that Brussels should be occupied and its leadership removed. |
On the eve of the European Parliament elections in June, the Hungarian Prime Minister is facing serious challenges at home and abroad. At home, he is dealing with the resignation of prominent politicians linked to scandal and the economy, and also has a difficult economic situation as the European Union has frozen billions in funding for Hungary. The reason for that is Brussels’ concern about the rule of law and corruption in this country.
This election campaign event in Budapest lasted only about 45 minutes and independent media were excluded. Orban’s speech, which took up a third of the time, focused mainly on issues he has focused on for years, including rejecting immigration and the thesis that the EU is trying to impose its will on Hungary. . He said to the applause of the audience: “We must occupy Brussels, remove the Brussels bureaucrats and take matters into our own hands. Orban, who has ruled his country for 14 years, criticized governments who give money or weapons to defend Ukraine against Russia. Hungary has rejected such support and has also taken a stand against EU sanctions aimed at punishing Russia for its actions in Ukraine. Orban has described the countries that support Ukraine as pro-war and tries to portray his government as the only country in the European Union that is pro-peace. However, many critics have accused him of advancing Russia’s interests by expanding energy contracts with Moscow and delaying aid packages to Ukraine. He unveiled his party, which predicts the revival of right-wing forces in the European Union. If the current EU leadership stays in place, “Europe will go to war, waves of immigration will destroy European countries, and sexist propaganda will destroy the future of our children,” it said. The European Union elections will be held from June 6 to 9. Common European Fiscal Policy
