Hungary’s top diplomatic voice slams Brussels as “world’s most isolated power centre”
Currently, Brussels is “the most isolated power centre” in the world, the prime minister’s political director said in the opening panel discussion of the fifth Mathias Corvinus Collegium festival in Esztergom, in northern Hungary, on Thursday.
Balázs Orbán said that while the US was in regular communication with Russia, “the Brussels administration has no communication with them, which is humiliating for the European side.” He also said the recent agreement between the EU and the US had a “secret clause … which is bad for Europe because it was aimed at ensuring a better position for Ukraine, which is not part of the EU.”
Meanwhile, Orbán said that since Brexit and since “the German and French leadership has weakened, mostly progressive and liberal non-elected bureaucrats have in fact occupied leading positions forcing their own political ideas on everybody.”
Concerning the war in Ukraine the political director said that “Brussels does not have a strategic autonomy. He also suggested that the previous US administration had worked “to push Europe into the war on Ukraine’s side” but “they did not succeed.”
