Hungary will not leave EU as it will fall apart – PM Orbán
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary has expressed his optimism about the impending US-Russia talks on the war in Ukraine, calling it a long-awaited development. In a recent interview on public radio, Orbán stated that this was what Hungary had been hoping for and that they had built their Hungarian strategy around the idea that a new American president would come and help forge peace in the region.
Orbán praised President Donald Trump for his stance on various issues, including peace, migration, green policies, gender, family, and Christianity. He highlighted that Hungary’s position on these matters had always been aligned with Trump’s current thinking and that sticking to their position had been worth it. Orbán praised Trump as “the voice of peace” in the Western world.
The Prime Minister also emphasized the importance of rapid change in various areas and criticized Europe for resisting these changes. He noted that the consensus on issues like war, migration, and green policies had shifted, with the US now advocating for positions that Hungary had long supported.
Orbán discussed the impact of these changes on Hungary, highlighting the economic benefits that could arise from peace and the reintegrating of Russia into the world economy. He also criticized the EU’s foreign affairs chief for suggesting that Europe should have a seat at the peace talks, stating that only those who had fought for it deserved a place at the negotiating table.
On the topic of migration, Orbán reiterated Hungary’s position on the dangers of unchecked migration and emphasized the need for protection against it. He pointed to recent incidents in Europe, such as the car ramming attack in Munich, as examples of the risks associated with migration.
Orbán also mentioned the “Soros plan” and criticized the importation of migrants into Europe by various actors. He highlighted the rise of the AfD party in Germany as a positive development and discussed the challenges posed by migration to democracy in Europe.
Regarding the European Union, Orbán warned that its days were numbered unless significant changes were made to its structure and policies. He called for the establishment of a single European capital market and emphasized the need for Europe to remain competitive in the global economy.
In conclusion, Orbán highlighted the importance of putting Hungary’s interests first in the face of changing global dynamics. He emphasized the need for a strong economy and protection of Hungarian pensioners and households against external pressures from the EU and other entities.
