Prime Minister Viktor Orban has imposed a new state of emergency in the country, citing the challenges posed by the ongoing war in neighboring Ukraine.
Hungary is already under a state of emergency, linked to the COVID pandemic, which is due to expire next Tuesday.
“The world is on the verge of an economic crisis. Hungary must stay out of this war and protect the financial security of its families,” the nationalist leader says on Facebook, in comments that raise fresh concerns about the restriction of rights.
“This requires room for maneuver and immediate action. The government, exercising its right under the Basic Law, declares a state of emergency due to war as of midnight,” Orban adds.
Rules decided under the new law change will be announced on Wednesday, Orban says.

Orban is a smart guy and a serious leader. We could use that elsewhere in the world.
CPAC is holding their convention in Hungary because they consider that country under Orban’s rule a shining example of Western civilization.

Seems like Orban is the only European leader who knows what’s going on and preparing his people accordingly. Globalists see that as a threat for some reason.
That’s one...
As the article here says:
“Hungary must stay out of this war and protect the financial security of its families,”
The AP poll is showing similar.
Not a big fan of Orban
“Seems like Orban is the only European leader who knows what’s going on and preparing his people accordingly. Globalists see that as a threat for some reason.”
Hungary suffered under Soviet aggression and domination, but nowhere to the extent Poland did.
Orban is trying to walk a tightrope; and perhaps convince the bear to eat him last. Poland, though, has no such illusions. That is why Poland is more determined than Hungary.
Hungary was allied with Germany in WWII against Russia. There is no love lost between the two countries. Do not be surprised if Putin starts labeling Orban’s conservative Fidesz Party as “Nazis” sometime soon.
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!

yesterday was another devastating day for the ukes...
It’s no wonder why the uptick in propaganda.
After the area near the town of Liman was secured, the Russian units began to storm the town. After massive artillery strikes on the AFU positions, the assault groups entered the town, advancing from the north-eastern direction.
As of May 24, most of Liman has already been taken under control of the Russians. Ukrainian units have reportedly taken up positions on the south-western outskirts.
Russian-led forces are advancing in several directions from Popasnaya.
Assault groups are heading towards Bakhmut. Clashes broke out in Pilipchatino.
Russian forces entered the town of Zolotoe. The AFU units were knocked out from a fortified area and a command post on the outskirts of the town. Clashes continue in the southern districts.
To the northwest of Popasnaya, the fighting reached Vasilevka.
The highway between Bakhmut and Lisichansk is under fire control of Russian forces. As a result, military supplies to the AFU grouping in Severodonetsk and Lisichansk have been complicated.
Street fighting continues in Severodonetsk. Despite the threat of encirclement, the AFU command continues the deployment of additional forces inside the city. At least two more battalions from the territorial defense formations have been recently transferred to the battlefield.
In the DPR, the Russian army and the Donetsk People’s Militia advanced in the area of Svetlodarsk. On May 23, they took control of the villages of Luganskoe and Mironovsky.
On May 24, a Russian flag was hung over the administration building of Svetlodarsk. Ukrainian troops retreated to the north. In order to slow down the enemy advance, Ukrainian sappers blew up a bridge, and made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy the dam of the Uglegorsk reservoir.
In southern Ukraine, amid ongoing hostilities, the integration process begins in the Kherson region, which is under the control of Russian troops. On May 23, a dual currency zone was officially introduced in the region. The ruble will now be used along with the hryvnia.
On the same day, Pentagon Chief Floyd Austin announced announced new military supplies to Ukraine from its western allies. Denmark will soon hand over a batch of Harpoon anti-ship missiles, while the Czech Republic has already provided Kiev with tanks, fire support helicopters and missile systems.

Poland is operating on emotion instead of commonsense as is typical of them. Let them keep cheerleading for this war, but like Ukraine, they will eventually see themselves discarded as just another pawn in this geo-political game. They are just another economic backwater desperate to play with the big boys hoping a bunch of money is thrown their way in the process.

What an absolutely moronic thing to say. You are anti-Pole now, as well?
Just stating the facts, if that makes me “anti-Pole” so be it. Can’t say I’m all that fond of them these days considering they are one of the entities trying to further drag us into war with Russia. They are only second to Ukraine in being pathetic beggars among the EU countries.
“God bless Orban. No country should ever ever cede any of its sovereignty to the EU.”
No country should ever cede any of its sovereignty to Russia.
“Just stating the facts, if that makes me “anti-Pole” so be it.”
Well, at least you’re honest enough to confirm it.
“Can’t say I’m all that fond of them these days considering they are one of the entities trying to further drag us into war with Russia.”
You sound like an isolationist, but with pro-Russia sentiments.
Chamberlain was an isolationist, as well. I wonder if you will be standing in front of your city hall, waving a piece of paper and declaring, “We have peace in our time!”
With Chamberlain his capitulation was on Czechoslovakia. But he went to war over Poland. With you your capitulation will be with Poland. And I doubt it will stop there.
“They are only second to Ukraine in being pathetic beggars among the EU countries.”
Ukraine is not a member of the EU.
“Ukraine is not a member of the EU.”
Yes, I meant among European nations, they have collected far more from the EU than any of the other countries, with Poland close behind. They are both Greece tier bankrupt countries sucking up to anyone who they hope will throw more money their way.
Russia is in no position to resurrect the old Soviet block, for you people to keep pretending this is an issue is ridiculous.
“Russia is in no position to resurrect the old Soviet block, for you people to keep pretending this is an issue is ridiculous.”
What’s this “you people” shit, Sparky? No one with half a brain cell thinks Russia is going to resurrect the Eastern Bloc (aka the Soviet Bloc). Putin may want to resurrect Russian hegemony, but he’ll never do it. Some of those former Eastern Bloc nations, especially those who are now members of NATO, have long memories of Soviet domination, and they want no part of it again. Which is why they sought admittance to NATO.
Many of us are opposed to Russia’s naked aggression against a smaller and weaker neighbor that posed no real threat to Russia. It’s as simple as that.
“Many of us are opposed to Russia’s naked aggression against a smaller and weaker neighbor that posed no real threat to Russia.”
Fine, then why don’t you volunteer yourself to participate in that fight instead of expecting others to do it for you? The US has no vital interests in that country, you need to get this into your head.
