PM Orbán reveals whether Hungary would ever leave the European Union
Hungary’s leadership has been calling for deep reforms to the bloc, but does the country have any intention of quitting the European Union? Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made his position clear in a wide-ranging interview published on Saturday. Speaking to Mathias Döpfner, CEO of the Axel Springer media group, Orbán said Hungary remains firmly part of Western Christian civilisation, even though he believes the EU has “drifted from a peace project to a war project”.
The interview, released on Döpfner’s YouTube channel, touched on topics from the EU’s future to the war in Ukraine, US politics and Hungary’s security strategy. Orbán repeated his view that Hungary’s political system is one of the “most stable and effective” in Europe and insisted that democratic governance must be built on freedom.
“Hungary will never leave the EU”
According to Orbán, Brussels seeks to reshape Hungary’s political leadership, but Budapest’s aim is reform, not departure.
“Hungary wants to reform the EU, but it will never leave it,” he said, adding that national sovereignty remains the most important European value.
Orbán argued that the current institutional setup “does not work” and that a new structure is needed to allow member states to cooperate more effectively. He believes “patriots” should lead this shift. Europe, he added, is undermining its own competitiveness — something he described as a major disappointment.
Asked about the central theme of the next Hungarian election campaign, Orbán did not hesitate: sovereignty. He also claimed that his modern Christian government faces challengers “financed and sustained in Brussels”.
Migration and sovereignty
On migration, the prime minister reiterated that Hungary must retain the right to decide “who enters the country and with whom Hungarians want to live”. Allowing large numbers of non-Christians into a Christian country “affects democracy itself”, he argued. He repeated his long-standing position that Hungary stopped illegal migration — and was “punished” by Brussels for doing so.
Orbán also noted that Hungary employs guest workers, but said this differs from mass migration flows.
Orbán: “We are very close to peace in Ukraine”
Turning to the war in Ukraine, Orbán claimed that Europe is “very close to peace”, provided there is a unified transatlantic position. He criticised the EU’s large financial support for Ukraine, calling it unrealistic to fund a country that “will not win the war” and is “highly corrupt”, while Europe lacks resources to strengthen its competitiveness.
He argued that a joint European–American stance would also ease future trade negotiations.
Trump praised as “a man of peace”
Orbán once again expressed strong admiration for Donald Trump, calling the US president “a man of peace”.
He suggested that if Trump had been president at the start of the Ukraine war, it “probably would not have broken out” or would have ended quickly. He highlighted Trump’s Christian worldview and said he had recognised already in 2015 that “the Western world needs Trump”.
The biggest lie Orban put out is that the invader Russia desires a ceasefire and peace. He is pushing Kremlin propaganda to turn Hungarian fools into little Russians.
Orbán lies as he breathes, unbelievable!
Victor Mihaly. Orban – at “Super Sonic” speed continues to EXHIBIT that he FEAR’s truth.
Truth is Truth, and throughout, even prior to Orban’s entry into Political life, in his FABRICATION of existence, what REALLY is HIM, the word TRUTH has been dismissive in his being.
Victor Mihaly. Orban has FAILED Hungarians in millions upon millions and Failed Humiliated respect and trust in the name of our country Hungary.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – his Fidesz Government, in the (16) sixteen years as the Government of Hungary through FEAR of Truth have DELIVERED Hungary destroyed friendships and relationships with country’s that we Hungary had for centuries predominantly those in Europe, in the European Union and Globally that are Governed under or “in respect” of DEMOCRACY.
Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government – have “Sold us Out” – betrayed Hungarians – Hungary.
WHAT have we been DELIVERED ?
What have we to look forward to – the FUTURE of Hungary ?
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, nothing can be PROVIDED to the FUTURE of Hungary under the name of Victor Mihaly. Orban – Fidesz.
Hungarians our country Hungary – we have been FAILED .
Yes and no, Dear Larry.
Yes, Russia wanted peace for decades, with The West, and even wanted to be a part of NATO.
But, over time, it became clear to them that their only role for The West was to be a Bogey-man, that fiction propped up by the most effective propaganda system I have ever witnessed – far beyond what The Soviet Union manged to devise to control their populace.
Again, at Minsk I & II, Russia tried to find a way to peace, but, as publically asserted, a year ago, by both Merkel and Macron, these treaties were only ruses to be used to further create a NATO puppet Ukraine that could be used to destroy Russia.
At this point we come to the no of the aforementioned yes and no.
No, as in Russia very definitely does not want peace, because that would mean simply allowing the situation in The Ukraine (vicious rabid NATO puppets) to continue.
That is totally unacceptable to them, moreover, with the war as it is, they, the Russians, have the legal opportunity to remove from this planet as many Russian-haters as wish to come forth to try and kill Russians, in the Ukraine.
The West wanted this war.
Now that The West has this war, and Russia is winning it, The West wants peace, but, the peace they, The Western Elite) want is only one to repair the current Ukraine to make more war on Russia.
Russia does not want that.
Come to think of it – if I were a Russian, I would not want this kind of ‘peace’ either.
They, the Russians, are teaching us a lesson, although, it is pretty clear to me that we have not yet learned it.
So the war will continue, and Odessa will be retaken from The West next.
Mouton – your going to send this media inn to shock if you present facts like this.
Thank you for your very kind words, Dear Tm!
Mouton You are a gold plated Trumpian knob!
What is the main concern of the European Union about Viktor Orbán’s recent policies according to the article?
The EU worries that Orbán’s government is undermining democratic rules and press freedom in Hungary. There are fears that Hungary is moving away from shared European values and making it harder to cooperate with other member states. Some EU officials say that those trends could threaten the unity and trust within the Union. Critics also point out that foreign investors might become cautious about doing business in Hungary if its political climate seems unstable. Full article pure casino
