The European Union faces a decisive turning point with the June elections. The warning comes from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who says he is ready to “occupy” Brussels with the aim of “preserving the freedom and sovereignty” of his country. Orbán took advantage of his speech on the occasion of Hungarian national day to outline some of his main political lines and formulate his criticisms of the European Commission. For the Hungarian Prime Minister, it is necessary to resist external pressure on key issues such as migration policy: “If we want to preserve Hungary’s freedom and sovereignty, we have no other choice than to occupy Brussels,” he said.
Orbán then referred to his commitment to ensuring that children grow up in Hungary respecting national identity and historical values, after his government promoted reforms such as the anti-LGBT law. The Hungarian holiday coincides with the anniversary of the 1848 revolution, a spirit that Orbán evoked to remember that already at that time “Europe was on fire”. In Hungary, however, the situation is different, according to the prime minister, who stressed that his country “does not want war under any circumstances”.
