The prime minister warned that in Brussels, leaders are calculating how to finance the war. Viktor Orban stressed, "Brussels wants to drag Hungarians into the whirlpool of war as well—this must be resisted."

“On to Miskolc! On to the anti-war rally. Why? Because war is only one bad April decision away from us,” PM Orban wrote on social media.

The Hungarian prime minister emphasized:

In Brussels, they are doing calculations once again. Not how to achieve peace, but how to finance the war and Ukraine—‘for as long as it takes.’ In Europe’s capitals, they are calculating how many soldiers to send to Ukraine—as ‘peacekeepers.’ In Germany, they already know where those soldiers will come from—they have restarted conscription.

“Brussels wants to pull us, the Hungarians as well, into this vortex of war. This is what we must resist,” PM Orban added.

In Miskolc and Ozd. In Alsozsolca and Szikszo. In Szerencs and Kazincbarcika. That is why we are meeting today in Miskolc. For peace and for Hungary! 

Viktor Orban concluded his post.
