Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the European Union "only wants a compliant government in Hungary that doesn't build fences, doesn't tax multinational companies and banks, doesn't pass a child protection law, a 13th-month pension and utility price caps but allows them to … plunder the country as they used to do."
During a speech assessing the nation over the past year delivered on Saturday, PM Orbán said that in the future, members of the European Parliament will have to submit the same asset declarations as members of the Hungarian parliament.
"Let us not forget that our real opponent is not the Hungarian opposition but their paymaster. The Hungarian opposition is only following the orders of the imperial will that funds it..." PM Orbán said.
