Minister Gulyás: “Brussels messed up and chose war over peace”
“Brussels messed up,” Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said on Wednesday, adding that rather than push for peace, Brussels had long been supporting war and weapons deliveries.
“It is clear that the European economy can’t bear burdens of the war in Ukraine and the amount being spent on aid,” Gulyás said in a video posted on Facebook. “This has so far cost Hungary 20 billion dollars alone, even though we’ve always been pro-peace and have never sent weapons.”
He said Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party and its allies had reaffirmed their “commitment to the war” at the European People’s Party’s congress on Tuesday “by declaring that they support war instead of peace, that they want to send more money to Ukraine and that they support Ukraine’s immediate accession to the European Union”.
“Despite the bad European economic policy, Hungary is capable of supporting families, we’re capable of preserving and even increasing the value of pensions, we protect jobs, support small and medium-sized businesses and are expanding a scheme to set up new factories,” Gulyás said. “Hungary protects itself and its citizens.”
