Brussels recommends that we bankrupt families and pensioners

The only surefire way of ending inflation is peace! The European Union is unable to create peace today, so we need to make a change, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban told public radio in his regular interview this morning. He said the opportunity for change will arise next year, at the European Parliament elections, adding that we'll need to elect MEPs to the European Parliament who are pro-peace, and not pro-war.

PM Orban on Budapest Mayor: They’ve lost their mind!

Hungary's premier stressed that there are winners and losers in war, and that those who suffer the most are those who lose their loved ones.The situation in the East is unchanged, the war has entered a very violent phase, he said. When the left says that we are at war with Russia, they don't know what they are talking about. It's a statement that no one in their right mind since the 2nd World War can afford to make. It opens the knife in one's pocket," PM Orban said, reacting to the words of Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony.

Talking about war is part of the war itself, the premier said, but since we are not in the war, we are on the outside looking in.

– It is not our war, even though it is close by, Mr Orban clarified.

We are more relaxed, although everyone in the West is enthusiastic, he added, stressing - in reference to Ukraine - that every person in their right mind knows that if a country attacks, it will lose three times as much as the one that defends itself. Mr Orban said the warring sides must be convinced that a ceasefire is necessary.

Sooner or later people will force out peace in the elections, he said, because the majority of people are not pro-war. This will be difficult for those who are far away and keep sending their money from a distance, he said, opining that the number of pro-peace voters is growing.

There's no need to deal with the EP

Mr Orban explained why we, Hungarians, will be vindicated later, adding that European politics has its own rhythm.

We were the only ones who said no during the migration crisis, and others would later say that Hungary was right. It'll be the same on the issue of war,

– the prime minister noted, adding that he was confident that this moment was not far.

– If you are Hungarian, you have to stand up for what is right. History shows that when we have failed to do so, we have lost, recalled Hungary's premier. Reacting to the European Parliament's wish to take away from Hungary the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU, Mr Orban underlined that this was an irrelevant issue, and that the EP had nothing to do with it.

– Hungary must deal with the important issues, he said.

Mr Orbán stressed that Turkey is the gateway to Europe. He welcomed the victory of President Erdogan, stressing that the Turkey's head of state will not let the 4 million refugees out of his country. Had he not won, some 2-3 million would have been let loose on us, and he would have been replaced by a pro-war president who is a local man of George Soros, he said. Mr Orban also underlined that Russian gas came in via Turkey.

So, we needed President Erdogan's victory like a loaf of bread, PM Orban said.

According to PM Orban, Hungarian interests must be represented in the triangle of Berlin, Moscow and Ankara/Istanbul, and all three relations are stable and developing well. The most critical relationship at the moment is the German one, he added.
