Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s statement about the inadmissibility of the supremacy of the laws of the European Union (EU) over the national laws of the member states reflects the mood of the Hungarian people.
This comment was made by Federation Council Senator Alexei Pushkov in his Telegram channel.
“I think this is political rhetoric so far, but it is also indicative. Until recently, the leaders of the EU member states did not allow themselves such doubts. And these are not just words, but a reflection of public sentiment in Hungary,” wrote the senator from the Perm Territory.
Earlier, NTV quoted Viktor Orban as saying at a meeting of his supporters in Budapest. The Hungarian prime minister said that the European Union is waging “a jihad, a holy war”, raising its legislation above the national law of the participating countries. According to Orban, if the EU continues this policy, Hungary will not be able to follow the same path with it. At the same time, NTV cited poll data, according to which 80 percent of Hungarians support the country’s membership in the European Union.
On February 12, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called the sanctions policy against Russia a strategic mistake of the European Union. According to him, sanctions against Moscow are a dead end. The politician stressed that Budapest is not capable of changing the direction of EU foreign policy and, in this regard, has developed and uses the Hungarian model.
