Responding to a question from Fidesz MP Mihály Balla, PM Orbán explained that Ukraine had reached an agreement with Brussels on their accelerated EU accession and now expects Hungary to ratify it. “Zelenskyy wants a Ukraine-friendly government in Hungary. Those who are agents of Brussels are also friends of Zelenskyy,” he said.
The prime minister made it clear that this expectation would not be met. “There will never be a situation where Kyiv or Brussels dictates how Hungarians exercise their rightful sovereignty,” he declared, adding that Ukraine’s accession would bankrupt Hungary and therefore cannot be supported. He encouraged citizens to make their voices heard through the Voks 2025 vote.
In response to opposition criticism, PM Orbán scolded the Democratic Coalition for serving foreign interests. “They want to remove Hungary’s national government, bring Ukraine into the EU, drag Hungary into the war, unleash migrants on us, abolish taxes on multinational companies, and suspend the child protection law. This is what the agents of Brussels want,” he said.
During the session, the prime minister also addressed questions about EU funding, stating that HUF 1 trillion will arrive this year. “This is not Brussels’ money—it belongs to the Hungarian people. Every Hungarian is entitled to it,” he said. He reaffirmed that Hungary will continue to fight for the remainder of the funds and will not compromise on sovereignty.
PM Orbán also stated that Hungary’s public safety is now the best in Europe, crediting Minister Sándor Pintér’s leadership. In response to a question about the National Bank from Jobbik’s László György Lukács, he noted that state assets have doubled since 2010, including through gold purchases, and emphasized the bank’s independence.
In closing, PM Orbán defended the government’s practice of national consultations, saying they reflect the people’s will. “We govern by asking the people. Others may call it populism but winning two-thirds support four times in a row is not a coincidence,” he remarked.
