Viktor Orban, anti-Brussels speech at an election rally: “They also want to take the money of our children and grandchildren”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban promised that he will not allow “Hungary to be robbed” while he is prime minister, in a speech delivered on Sunday in Kossuth Lajos Square (of the parliament) in Budapest, marking the anniversary of the revolution and the war of independence of 1848-1849, reports MTI, taken over by Agerpres.
According to Orban, “bureaucrats from Brussels and war profiteers from Kiev” are “blackmailing, threatening and intimidating” Hungary, Brussels is blocking Hungary's funds, while Ukraine is blocking its oil, on the grounds that they want a change of government in Hungary, as the current one “will not hand over the keys to the money house”.
“Our money is not enough for them: they also want to take the money of our children and grandchildren. Under the pretext of Ukraine, they want to reduce you to debt slaves for future generations,” he insisted.
The Hungarian Prime Minister noted in the same context that “it's time for both Kiev and Brussels to understand that our sons will not die for Ukraine, but live for Hungary”, explaining that, “in war, it doesn't matter who you are, how far you've come, what you're good at, what you want to do in life; all that matters is if you hold the machine gun correctly, how you can run after or from the enemy – all that matters is how many people you've killed or how many you received bullets”.
“This is not the fate we want for our children. This is not the fate we want for the mothers of our children – for them to bury their sons in a foreign country, under foreign flags,” concluded Orban.
His speech followed a “Peace March” organized by government supporters earlier in the day. Tens of thousands of participants from all over the country marched from Margaret Bridge to Kossuth Square under the slogan “We will not become a Ukrainian colony”.
The rally took place before the parliamentary elections scheduled for April 12, and later on Sunday the leader of the Hungarian opposition, Peter Magyar, had announced a rival demonstration.
