Balázs Orbán: Hungary ‘only sovereign country’ in EU
Hungary “is the only sovereign country” in the European Union, the Prime Minister’s political director said during a roundtable organised by the 21st Century Institute and the media outlet Mandiner on Thursday in Budapest.
Balázs Orbán said the question of sovereignty concerned who decided the future, adding that the government wanted “to defend the right of Hungarians to decide their own future”.
When European integration began after the second world war, mutual trust between nations strengthened and power shifted to the centre as there was trust in the institutions, he said, adding that now, however, “the bureaucracy believes it has the right … to decide the future of Europe and the future of Europeans”.
He said Europeans sought political parties at the national level who do more than just “make promises”.
He said globalists had long seen Hungarian politics as a “hunting ground”, with the opposition “financed by foreign donors”.
Orbán said Brussels “has a plan” for the 2026 general election and they had already “chosen which candidate they will support against the government”. He insisted that “the globalist elite” was “buying politicians who betray their national interests”.
The PM’s political director said “European elites” were preparing for war, entailing “greater centralisation and a war budget”. Money would be poured into the war economy rather than into families and businesses, he added.
He said Hungary was being punished for “protecting our borders” and refusing to sign the migration pact. “They are withholding EU funds because we do not support war preparations,” he added.
