We request a ceasefire and negotiations, and Hungary must stand up for its position and its own interests," said Prime Minister Viktor Orban during a cyclical discussion on the programme "Good Morning, Hungary" on Kossuth Radio.
In Brussels, they propose that we "essentially destroy" the Hungarian economy, people, families and pensioners. What they ask for is savings, said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He stressed that if there was no war, the next year's budget would have been much better, "but we cannot be dissatisfied with it, due to the fact that we can defend everything that is crucial to us," despite the war.
The Prime Minister explained that this is simply a time of war and that jobs and the value of pensions must be protected due to the fact that pensioners cannot aid themselves by extra work. "Therefore, pensioners turned against the full left and actually became supporters of the national camp and support national economical policy," he said. He stressed that families besides should be protected due to the fact that raising children is always a serious spending and families deserve government protection. Thus, the budget for 2024 is simply a defence budget," Orbán said.
If there had been a ceasefire in Ukraine and peace talks started, the economical situation would have been easier, and inflation would have fallen much faster to 1-3 percent, said Orbán. The Prime Minister has set a single-digit inflation mark by the end of the year. He said that single-digit inflation is simply a major challenge for the government. He said inflation rose worldwide by the war after energy prices went up, causing prices to rise.
Orbán added that the war had entered a very hard phase, and erstwhile “left politicians in the country say that we are at war with Russia, they do not know what they are talking about, they have lost their minds.” The time is close erstwhile European leaders will gotta agree with Hungary's pro-peaceful position said the Prime Minister. He added that Western leaders believed that the war in Ukraine could be won militarily: “Ukrainians fight and the West gives them money and weapons.” Leaving this war road will be very difficult. "I believe that we are going morally and politically the right way," he said, expressing his opinion that in many Western countries, "people will force peace more rapidly or later through elections" and replace pro-war governments.
The full of Europe, the vast majority of people, does not support war. You can be morally right about Ukraine, you can be right about saying that Ukraine is an attacked party, and Russia is an aggressor, and we want justice. The European public speaks with 1 voice. But the European public is divided on what needs to be done about this problem, what decisions to take,
It would be a tragedy if Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not win the Turkish elections, due to the fact that his opponent represented a pro-war position and is “the man of Soros”. If he had won, he would have forced 4 million refugees surviving in Turkey to emigrate to Europe. Orban said he felt a “great relief” to hear about Erdogan's re-election, not only cheering him up, but besides Praying zealously for his victory. He besides pointed out that Russian gas flows from the south, through Turkey, and if power was taken over by a pro-American politician or supported by George Soros, it is highly doubtful that gas would scope Hungary and Serbia. The current Turkish president, on the another hand, has the chance to proceed to mediate between Ukrainians and Russians, as the Prime Minister has done in the past about the grain crisis.
