Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Ukraine's EU membership is the greatest danger today.
Speaking to an audience of several thousand at an event called 'Fighters' Club - The Beginning' in Budapest on Sunday, PM Orbán said it was no news that Hungary was under attack as the "Brussels bureaucrats", "led by Soros", had attacked Hungary before. He said the situation was more difficult now because "they had been joined by the Ukrainians".
"Ukraine's EU membership is the greatest danger today," he said, adding that he understood them since "their country, which was already dysfunctional and bankrupt before the war, had been ruined". He said the Ukrainians could not stand on their own feet, "they need other people's money," this is why they want to access the European Union "at once and at any cost".
PM Orbán said the Ukrainians did not care that they would bring the war into the EU, that they would ruin the farmers and make Hungary a gateway for the Ukrainian mafia, but "we, Hungarians, do care," he added.
"We do not want them to drag us into the war, to ruin our farmers and turn Europe's safest country into a mafia nest, and we do not want the Hungarians' money to be sent to them through Brussels," he said.
PM Orbán said this was what the Ukrainian secret service smear campaign organised against Hungary and funded from abroad " was about, and this is why Brussels wanted to see a "pro-Ukrainian Tisza-Dobrev coalition" in office in Hungary. He said maybe Ukraine's EU membership would be a good thing for the West, but it would be bad for us, adding that we live here next door, "they will be storming our borders, take our jobs, and take our money away," he said.
"We must and we will resist," PM Orbán said.
