Hungary MEP: Brussels Today Acts Like a Warmonger

In a year-end interview with the Origo portal, the MEP of Fidesz talked about Ukraine's planned accession to the EU, the ongoing rule of law proceedings against Hungary, and the liberal opinion terror prevailing in the European Union.

He also spoke about the draft for a radical transformation of the EU being once again on the agenda, containing a number of "nightmarish" proposals.

The European Parliament wants to start a process of radically rewriting the EU's founding treaties, to create a Convention. Guy Verhofstadt has set his sights on chairing it. It is no longer simply a matter of Brussels steadily and stealthily taking powers away from the member states, but of plans to transform the internal functioning of the European Union as a whole.

This is not why we Hungarians joined the European Union, and neither is this the original goal set by the EU. The EU can only be effective with strong member states, because its strength derives precisely from the sovereignty of the member states. Abolishing it would essentially dismantle and destroy the European Union.

Today the European Union acts like a warmonger, and therefore the European swamp must be drained, he said, referring to next year's EP elections, and adding that he believes that a similar change could be expected in several European countries and the European Parliament itself.

I am therefore optimistic.
