Hungary, as a committed member of the European Union, is interested in a strong European Union, in a community that enables member states to preserve their national sovereignty and traditions instead of further centralizing powers, the minister pointed out.
"We want a European Union where the right to debate is not taken away, and a European Union that not only talks about democracy, but also takes it seriously and works democratically," he underlined.
"Today there are huge debates about what the future of the European Union should look like. At the same time, it seems that if you take a different position from the liberal mainstream, you are immediately hit with financial sanctions," he said.
"Hungary is also facing such financial sanctions, which are without any legal basis and which are imposed and enforced only because we have sovereign positions on key issues that are contrary to the mainstream," he emphasized.
Those who talk about the need for urgent peace in Ukraine and the importance of keeping communication channels open are immediately depicted as "a Russian puppet, an ally of Putin and a Kremlin propagandist", he noted.
"The opportunity for democratic debate is not given in the European Union, Brussels just talks about democracy, does not work democratically, and at the same time questions the will of the people," he said, adding that this can be seen, for example, in the approach to the Hungarian government's national consultation public survey.
The foreign minister noted that the national consultation is a huge resource for the government in debates that fundamentally affect the future of the nation.
Thus I would respectfully ask everyone to fill in the national consultation questionnaires to strengthen the government’s position in the debates in Brussels in the coming weeks and months,
he said.
