Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has once again shown that the EU is just a tool for his personal and nationalist power games. While the whole of Europe tries to unite in support of Ukraine, Orban launched a full-blown anti-Ukraine campaign in his country, using legally ineffective consultations he called a “strong mandate.” But let’s be clear – out of 3.5 million voters, only 2.3 million even responded to his questionnaire, and over 95% of those voted against Ukraine joining the EU. Is that really a “strong mandate” or just manipulation?
Orban made it clear in Brussels that Hungary will not support Ukraine’s accession to the EU, using excuses that sound like a bad political novel: “loss of European funds,” “mass influx of cheap Ukrainian labor,” and even accusations of an “epidemic due to insufficient vaccination.” All this while Europe fights Russian aggression and tries to help Ukraine defend its freedom.
But that’s not all! Orban, known for his close ties to the Kremlin, regularly criticizes sanctions against Russia and refuses military aid to Kyiv. His policy is not just against Ukraine but against the very idea of European solidarity. And as Ukraine’s EU accession talks continue, Orban uses every moment to sabotage the process, accusing Ukraine of violating the rights of the Hungarian minority – which many see as a pretext for his anti-Ukraine hysteria.
This farce is not just a political game – it’s a dangerous manipulation of public opinion that could have serious consequences for regional stability and EU unity. If you think politics is just a boring power game, Orban’s campaign will prove you wrong. So, what do you think about this circus? Is Hungary really the voice of Europe or just the voice of its own interests? Drop a comment and let your voice be heard!
