“Manfred Weber and his gang have already done enough harm to the European Union — and by extension, to Hungary as well,” said Szalay-Bobrovniczky when asked about his reaction to the EPP’s stance, which he claims favors prolonging the war.
The minister argued that the EU’s “unchecked” economic, financial, and military support for Ukraine has already caused significant harm to the European community, and that continuing down this path is “beyond comprehension.”
He also expressed concern that the EPP has found political allies in Hungary who support the same direction and seek power by aligning with these war-oriented goals. “This poses a serious risk for every Hungarian,” Szalay-Bobrovniczky added.
His comments mark yet another sign that Hungary’s government is adopting a firmly pro-peace stance in the run-up to the European Parliament elections, while portraying the European People’s Party as pushing for continued conflict.
