Balazs Orban: Europe’s Elite Is Sinking Ever Deeper Into War + Video

According to Balazs Orban, the prime minister's political director, Hungary today has only one real guarantee of peace and of staying out of war: the nation-focused, Fidesz–KDNP government led by Viktor Orban. In contrast, he warned, the EU majority in Brussels is deepening the Ukraine conflict through war loans, while increasingly and openly preparing for a direct confrontation with Russia. In the political director’s assessment, Europe has become invested not in peace, but in the continuation of war.

The politician went on to say that the strongest pro-war force in European politics today is the European People’s Party (EPP), of which Hungary’s Tisza Party is a member. “It is no coincidence that a former Ukrainian foreign minister has said they are praying for a change of government in Hungary, so that a pro-war government backing the conflict in Ukraine comes to power,” he noted.

He also pointed to the recent behavior of Tisza Party leader Peter Magyar, saying it is “no coincidence” that Magyar has posted extensively on social media without once clearly stating his position on the war. “They know exactly why: if their real stance were made public, the Hungarian people would not support them,” Orban said, adding that he discussed these issues earlier on Kossuth Radio’s Vasarnapi Ujsag program on.

Europe has aligned itself fully with one side in the war. We believe negotiations are needed with both sides,

Balazs Orban stressed in another post accompanied by a video.
