The government will make good on its promise of bringing inflation down into the single digits by the end of the year; it could happen as early as October or November, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said at the 32nd “Tusványos” summer university course at Baile Tusnad (Tusnádfürdő), in central Romania, on Thursday.
Speaking about next year’s European Parliament elections, Gulyás said that, if not a miracle, a shift to the right can be expected, which “perhaps makes it possible to discuss reasonable proposals”. He said the majority of MEPs cannot forgive Hungarian voters for “failing to find what they consider to be the right answer” every four years and therefore try to take revenge on them. On the matter of the war, Gulyás called for peace negotiations as soon as possible, adding that he believed the outcome of the war was closely related to next year’s US presidential elections.
Gulyás said Ukraine, as a victim of aggression, clearly deserves solidarity and no European country disputes that Russia grossly violated international law. The question is, he said, how long EU member states will continue financing the war. He said it was irresponsible to finance a “frozen” conflict for years when no better result can be expected, and a ceasefire, which ends the killing, could be the only solution.
“It goes against the basic rules of common sense that there are countries that are members of the EU and are entitled to funds from the EU budget, and the European Commission, contrary to the Community law, does not provide these funds, and then calls on these member states to kindly agree to a unanimous decision so that a country that is not a member of the EU can also share in EU funds,” Gergely Gulyás said.

Russia’s modus operandi is to invade, take a slice of territory and then freeze the conflict, after which it “reloads” and attacks again in the future to take even more territory from its’ victim. The Russians froze the conflict in Ukraine that they initiated in 2014 and came back eight years later for more. Gulyas and Fidesz are acting as Russia’s enablers to do the same again. Russia has broken every ceasefire and security guarantee it has signed regarding Ukraine beginning with the Budapest Memorandum which was supposed to guarantee Ukraine’s borders. Orban wants to be the 21st century Neville Chamberlain bringing about “peace in our time” with a ruthless dictator who is guaranteed to dishonour yet another agreement. If Russia is not defeated and Ukraine is not brought into NATO it will attack Ukraine again in future and has high probability to attack Moldova and the Baltic States. We will achieve peace through strength and deterrence and not through snivelling weakness which Fidesz wants for us. Russia is much weaker than the image it and Fidesz projects for it and wants a stronger West to lay down in a corner and give up. No way.
