in World News Hungarian PM Orbán Excoriates EU Commission Chief, Accuses Her of Launching “Direct Attack” Against Central Europe
In a bold stand against the chief representative of the globalist elite in Brussels, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated Hungary will not be dragged into war by the unelected bureaucrats of the European Union, and it will not support Ukraine’s fast-tracked accession into the EU at the expense of Central European prosperity.
Speaking with unflinching clarity, Orbán denounced European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s renewed push to deepen EU involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, calling it a “scandal” and warning that Europe is being driven off a cliff, the Hungarian news portal Mandiner reported.
“Ursula von der Leyen wants to drag Europe into war,” Orbán declared, adding, “It is in Europe’s interest to follow the example of the United States and come out of the war. We can no longer pour European people’s money into a bottomless bag.”
The prime minister’s comments followed—and came in direct response to—von der Leyen’s inflammatory address to the European Parliament a day earlier, where she called for more weapons for Ukraine, a rapid end to energy cooperation with Russia, and a fast-tracked accession process for Ukraine into the EU—a move Orbán and other nationalist leaders see as reckless and ideologically driven.
