Speaking in Brussels, PM Orbán said that “one must not forget about the Soros plan which is aimed at organizing migration”.
“We are fighting against an organized group which is called the Soros empire,” the prime minister added. “The Soros empire was paying civil organizations to attack Hungary’s legal system and carried out unlawful activities against Hungary,” he added. PM Orbán said the way US businessman George Soros got involved demonstrated how the EU operated. “This is against us and about how to change Europe; and how to get rid of Christian, conservative, national political leaders and voters, and how to make them insignificant,” he said. PM Orbán said the liberals and communists were close to each other because they both liked centrally controlled bureaucratic procedures instead of believing in freedom. He said experience in central Europe showed that former communists could easily turn into liberals.
Speaking about the EU’s policy, PM Orbán said that the past five years had been dedicated to implementing the goals of the current leadership. “Green transition has failed because it has gone against economic and industrial evidence,” said PM Orbán. He said the green transition must not be “politically motivated”, adding that if the opposite was the case, “it would destroy the competitiveness of the European economy”. “That is where we stand today,” he said. As regards the economic impacts of the war in Ukraine, “decisions may be taken despite all good-will” on measures that could cause difficulties in the European economy “which is prevalent already in the case of farmers,” said PM Orbán. The EU should define “what it should do with the issue of the war” in order to find a solution and prevent further crises, PM Orbán said, adding that it should be handled separately from the issue of Ukraine’s EU integration as much as possible. Concerning the EU’s Resilience and Recovery Facility (RRF), the prime minister said that Hungary had not received “a single penny” from the funds until now, adding that the fund had become “a tool of blackmail” because of its migration policy. He said every comprehensive initiative of the current leadership of the EU had failed and he called for the “departure” of current EU leaders in office.
