Hungarian PM: EU Abuses Its Power & Forces Alien Culture, Ideology Upon Budapest
Sputnik News ^ | 5/16/22

When reflecting on European sanctions against Russia, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said they only work on paper, noting that those who impose a continental blockade usually fail.

The European Union is abusing its power and forces an alien culture and ideology upon Hungary, the nation's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday.

"However, we still do not let migrants in, we do not give permission for gender ideologies and we do not accept economic measures that would destroy Hungarian families," the prime minister stressed.

Brussels is also reducing individual bloc member's powers, Orban continued.

He also took a dig at Western sanctions imposed against Russia, arguing that they work only in theory.

"Europe is convinced that different sanctions can bring Russia to its knees. This is possible on paper, and many 'paper' politicians put forward some theoretical evidence, but no matter how hard I try to remember, an effective continental blockade does not come to my mind. However, I saw the failure of those, who introduced it," Orban said.

Hungary earlier resisted the EU's move to ban Russian oil, blocking the sixth package of sanctions introduced by the bloc. The prime minister has repeatedly indicated that he will not support Western sanctions against Moscow that, in his view, undermine Hungary's energy security.

Orban's remarks came as he was re-elected prime minister by the country's parliament on Monday.

Its a good thing he kicked Soros and other NGOs out of his country, or the CIA would have already organized a color-revolution against him.

Off topic but it's interesting how these sorts of remarks are always in English. You know it's gotta bug the French that English is Europe's lingua franca.

He first came to my attention with a speech he gave several years ago. It was on the official web site in English.

God bless Orban.
no country should ever ever cede any of its sovereignty to the EU. The world would be a safer place if EU was only for trade or simply dissolved.

“...he will not support Western sanctions against Moscow that, in his view, undermine Hungary’s energy security...”

Hungry openly continues to purchase Russian oil/gas for the food the country.

The other EU countries banned Russian oil/gas but only made insignificant reductions and continue to purchase it at greatly increased prices. They are hypocrites! They are funding the Russian invasion.

correction: “for the food the country.” should be “for the good the country.”

With Orban in firm control the country’s citizens can be confident their beautiful capital city will not be turned into a cesspool of crime like parts of many other European capitals have become, not to mention U.S. cities like LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Memphis, etc, etc.
