Brussels is not backing down. Yesterday, the Commission presented its plan to finance Ukraine. In doing so, they are not only sidelining the outcome of the EU summit in December, but also ignoring reality itself.
They are daydreaming about Russian reparations and once again committing themselves to financing the war and providing unconditional funding to Ukraine. They are not troubled by the advance of the Russian war machine, Europe’s dire financial situation, or the views of European citizens.
They remain committed to a path of war. In Europe, there are hardly any governments left that are able to go against them.
Hungary is the exception. In recent years, we have learned how to stand up for ourselves. During the financial crisis, we chose a work-based economy and a family-friendly model instead of austerity measures. During the migration crisis, we closed our borders and have kept illegal migrants out ever since. Since the outbreak of the war, we have done everything possible to keep Hungary out of the conflict and out of financing it.
Brussels will not let this pass quietly. Yesterday’s announcement made that clear.
That is why we are initiating a national petition. Hungary will once again push back against Brusselian pressure. We believe that decisions about war, peace, and our future must be made with the support and involvement of our people. This is how we will make our position clear to Europe and to the world.
