Hungary can count on the Catholic Church, Viktor Orbán said at the beginning of his Friday morning interview with Kossuth radio regarding the papal audience. At the center of thinking about the world is war and peace, I went to the best place - said the Prime Minister about Wednesday's visit.
According to Viktor Orbán, a rare situation has arisen because there are two American presidents, and America's role in the Russian-Ukrainian war taking place in our neighborhood is unavoidable. In this war
America is one of the protagonists, without them there would be no war, he declared.
If America were to go home from Europe, which according to him is a possibility that is constantly open, Europe would be left alone - declared the Prime Minister, who called it a horrible thing that the Ukrainians are suffering. However, when the war is over, the EU security situation must be settled, he said.
He believed that Russia has become stronger, Ukraine has weakened, but Europe is also weak,
he wouldn't be able to produce enough ammunition to compete with the Russians, and in fact, he doesn't think he has the money to do so. A new European security system is needed, and America's place must also be designated in it - Viktor Orbán answered a question, reminding us that one president is pro-war, the other pro-peace, that's why there is confusion.
He called Joe Biden a Soros-type, supported by György Soros, who wants to escalate the war. He called it shameless that the American Secretary of State urged him: Ukrainians should be drafted from the age of 18 instead of 25. He added: it was about time for a change in America. According to him
the Ukrainians bet on the wrong horse in April 2022,
when they pulled out of the peace "under Anglo-Saxon pressure". The period of the two presidents lasts until January 20, with the arrival of Trump, things will smooth out, he said.
The Prime Minister recalled that on Wednesday he not only negotiated in the Vatican, but also with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. We grind in a mill - he evaluated the meeting.
Both the Italian and Hungarian governments are against migration, they want to stop Brussels' policy. However, important things also happened in Brussels this week: a government coalition was formed there, the liberals, the socialists and the People's Party came to an agreement - he reminded, and also talked about the fact that the Hungarian government is the opposition of the European Commission. Because the Commission is pro-gender, pro-migration, pro-war, he listed.
Therefore, he announced resistance in Brussels, they are working with the Patriots to create a new majority.
The imprint of the political struggle is that Ursula von der Leyen and Manfred Weber see Hungary as an enemy. The new prime minister, the leader of the Tisza Party, was appointed, according to Viktor Orbán, they said that they want to see him at the head of Hungary. According to him
such people are very unpleasant in the family and in the workplace, and Tamás Menczer stopped this very unpleasant policy, in his opinion, he did the right thing.
Hungary has 12 billion euros in its account, they can bring this into the Hungarian economy, said the Prime Minister, adding that for this the entrepreneurs need to do their job, submit the invoice to the government, who will take it to Brussels, from where they will pay. Whether or not there will be money after that will be a question after 2026, the prime minister thought, but according to him we will get it, there are negotiations.
If they do not refer, I will not vote for the EU budget, he stated.
Viktor Orbán believed that the European economy is falling apart, precisely because of the bad economic policy of Brussels. Energy prices have soared, but Hungarian families will survive this due to utility reduction. However, we can no longer protect our businesses, he added. Only Brussels can change energy prices, according to the Hungarian EU presidency, it has been working on this.
We have to pressure the Brussels government to change its economic policy, this will be the big battle of the next six months, he promised.
If Hungary maneuvers skillfully, remains economically neutral, Washington and Beijing are important to it and we find the right balance, then we will be fine - he summarized what awaits our country's economy. This includes the Sándor Demján program supporting SMEs, which is larger than the Széchenyi plan.
At the end of the interview, the Romanian election was also discussed at the end of his speech. Viktor Orbán said that the success of the RMDSZ in Transylvania can also confirm the rumors that we are a serious nation.
According to him, a dangerous situation has arisen in Romania, and the Hungarian community recognized and identified this and was able to act together against it.
