The Hungarian prime minister’s anti-European rhetoric intensified after Brussels tightened financial pressure on the country.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized the European Union.
In his speech in Veszprem, one of the EU’s cultural cities, the Hungarian leader accused the EU of economic collapse and its deep support with arms and money for Ukraine, which has been forced to defend itself from aggression of Russia.
“The modern form of European cooperation is driven by two missions: peace and prosperity. If it cannot fulfill its two original missions, what is the point of the EU?” Orban asked.
The publication notes that anti-European policy rhetoric intensified after Brussels tightened financial pressure on Hungary. Earlier, the European Union suspended more than $30 billion in aid to the country due to government corruption.
The Hungarian prime minister argued that the EU should remove the sanctions imposed on Russia, because, according to the politician, they led to a deepening recession in Hungary. He also urged the bloc to consider ending aid to Ukraine as a way to end the war.
Recall that earlier Orban reacted negatively to the statement of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about Ukraine’s future in the alliance. In April, the Hungarian prime minister called Ukraine a “non-existent country.”
