Hungary - EU relations | Ipse by Context

“In Europe the atmosphere is war, politics is dominated by the logic of war. I see everyone preparing for war. We are one step away from the West sending troops to Ukraine. This is a vortex of war that could push Europe into the abyss. Brussels he is playing with fire. We Hungarians know what war is like. We've been involved enough times. We don't want war and we don't want Hungary to become a playground for the great powers again. This is why we must fight for peace - at home, in Brussels, in Washington, at the United Nations and in NATO.”

“If we want to defend Hungary's freedom and sovereignty, we have no other choice but to occupy Brussels. We will march to Brussels and bring the change to the European Union ourselves.”

“Victor Orban reads the cards right, unfortunately. He understands the wind in the EU is changing. There are more and more voices in the EU that want the Ukrainians to just sit down at the table and negotiate peace with the Russians because we cannot afford to support Ukraine forever.”

“The Brussels package of sanctions would ban oil shipments from Russia to Europe, with a rather short notice, in case of Hungary the end of next year. Hungary cannot support the measures in their current form. Hungary could only agree to these measures if crude oil imports from Russia via pipeline were exempted from the sanctions.”

“We do not see any plans or guarantees on how a transition could be managed based on the current proposals, and how Hungary's energy security would be guaranteed.”

“The expectation that there could be a relatively quick agreement with the European Commission (on EU funds) is questionable now after in his speech last night Viktor Orban took a repeated swipe at Brussels. We can hardly expect that his government, with two-thirds majority now, will be as ready for a compromise as it would have been with a simple majority win in elections.”

“People had enough in 1956, and they have had enough now. Our basic goal - for all of us, left and right - is for Hungary to be a democracy, to be governed by the rule of law in a market economy and as part of the European Union.”

“The governments of Hungary and Poland are at war with their allies, they are at war with the EU, and they are also at war with their own municipalities. The Hungarian government’s strategy is clear: if it cannot convert public money to private money and channel it to its oligarchs, it is ready to give up those funds.”

“There is no clear objective criteria or clear definition of principles of rule of law, so you cannot use it as a tool for [a] concrete sanctioning mechanism. The political blackmailing is a very bad and irresponsible tactic from the European Parliament and some member states. It is not our task to find [a] solution to the problem.”

“In Brussels, they only view countries which let migrants in as those governed by the rule of law. Once this proposal gets adopted, there will be no more obstacles to tying member states' share of common funds to supporting migration and the use of financial means to blackmail countries which oppose migration. Those who defend their borders and defend their countries against immigration can no longer be classified as law-abiding in Brussels.”

“When Poland or Hungary have been attacked over the rule of law so far, those attacks had nothing to do with the rule of law. They were used as a mere means of extortion. If something is good in Spain [Poland was criticized for transforming its judicial system, according to Szijjártó Spain has the same regulation], then why is it bad in Poland?”
