Viktor Orban highlighted:

The responsibility lies with the EPP. The European People’s Party is the leading war party, with all problems rooted in there. For the time being, no turnaround can be expected in Germany. Therefore, living next to Germany moving toward war, we must stay out of the war, just as we should have done in 1914 and in 1939.

He warned that the leaders of the member states are making decisions for which citizens will ultimately pay the price if the Russian side is not defeated in the war.

The European Union must be reorganized because it is falling apart. We must occupy it, transform it, and shift the centers of gravity in Brussels, and then the world will look different,

he concluded.
