PM Orban Stands With Farmers
As previously reported, farmers are protesting in Brussels. PM Orban said the farmers are “one hundred percent right.” According to him, they face two major problems.
The first is the Mercosur agreement, a proposed free trade deal with Latin American countries, which Viktor Orban said would devastate European farmers. Hungary is among the countries that oppose the agreement, a position reached after major serious debates at home.
This also requires a qualified majority,” PM Orban said, “and I believe there are enough opponents of Mercosur to block the signing of this agreement. The plan is for the president of the Commission to sign it this week, but I think we can—and must—stop it,
he said.
The second major problem for farmers, he said, is the Green Deal, which he argued overregulates agriculture, drives up costs, and creates serious competitive disadvantages.
The Hungarian government stands one hundred percent with the farmers. I am glad that Hungary is not absent from this fight and that Hungarian farmers are here as well,
he added.
Responding to a journalist’s question regarding Ukraine financing, PM Orban summed up Hungary’s position:
The basic situation is simple: there are two countries at war—Russia and Ukraine. Then there is us, the European Union. The plan is to seize the assets of one warring party and hand them over to the other. That is nothing short of a declaration of war. It goes far beyond our job and our mandate. We must not intervene in this war. We must stay out of it and work for peace.
