Details
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who is known to maintain good relations with Russia, announced the start of a campaign to collect signatures "against Brussels' military plans" the day before.
A hot autumn awaits us. Europe is moving faster and faster towards war. In Copenhagen, Brussels' war plan was presented: Europe pays, Ukrainians fight until Russia finally exhausts itself. We were not told how much it would cost and how long it would take. Instead of a strategy, the Brussels team offered wishful thinking.
"We cannot stand by and watch this! We must once again show that the Hungarian people do not ask for war. That is why today we are starting to collect signatures against Brussels' war plans. We will be there in every city and every village, because now we need every peace-loving Hungarian!" - the prime minister concluded his post.
Earlier, the head of the Hungarian government noted that Brussels adheres to the logic of war, and "instead of striving for peace," the European Union "is moving towards escalation."
