"Because of Brussels Leadership, Europe's Economy Takes Yet Another Heavy Blow"

Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto launched a scathing attack on the EU leadership under Ursula von der Leyen. The leaders of the European Union are both incompetent and, above all, cowardly, the minister said. "What Brussels has messed up, we have to fix here in Budapest,” he added.
