The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has warned of the risk of entering a “whirlwind of war” that “leads Europe to the abyss” and has stated that “Brussels is playing with fire” with its growing involvement in the open conflict in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion.
“What he is doing is truly crazy,” said Orbán, in the first major campaign event of his party, Fidesz, for the European elections in June. The Hungarian Prime Minister does not hide that he hopes that these elections will mark a turning point in Europe, with a greater weight of ultra-conservative positions.
Orbán has stressed his firm opposition to any type of NATO involvement in Ukraine. “Hungary does not want war and we do not want Hungary to once again be a toy in the hands of the great powers,” he explained, and then promised that his country “will not enter the” Ukrainian “conflict on either side.” .
The Hungarian president has called to “take over” Brussels, a term he uses on numerous occasions to accuse what he defines as “incompetence” on the part of the “bureaucrats.” There is, in his opinion, “a big problem” at the core of the EU and, among the policies that he aspires to change are immigration issues, according to the speech released by the Executive itself.
“No one can dictate to Hungarians who they have to live with,” concluded Orbán, whose Government has been singled out in recent years for setbacks in the rule of law, among other reasons for laws that restrict the rights of the community. LGTBI.
