Orbán: government meeting today because Brussels botched the sanctions
The Hungarian Prime Minister posted a photo on his Facebook page, announcing that the government is holding a meeting today. The reason is, of course, none other than the “botched Brussels sanctions”.
Orbán’s government says energy prices are rising “all over Europe” because of “botched sanctions from Brussels”. Instead, unfortunately, he has not yet revealed what he thinks would be the best way to contain Putin.
“Today we are still working to protect Hungarian families from the energy crisis,” Orbán said on his Facebook page. However, many commenters have pointed out that energy prices had already gone through the roof before the war broke out.
In the meantime, the EU is about to decide on Hungary’s funding
Meanwhile, on Sunday, the European Commission decided not to close the rule of law procedure against Hungary, but to refer the case to the Council of the European Union. A vote by the Council of EU ministers could decide whether the Hungarian government can access the EU funds it is owed.
The Commission proposed on Sunday that EUR 7.5 billion should be withdrawn from Hungary for abuses over the use of EU money, but the government has been given two months’ grace to take the anti-corruption measures promised to the Commission earlier.

Exploiting crises to evade scrutiny and accountability? Well – as long as you’re able to sell it to the People through Facebook, I guess!
Dismiss, distort, distract, dismay; how the government rules our country. Wonder what Orban made of Putin’s speech.
The people of Hungary, the continuation of feeling the collapsing Economy of Hungary, hitting our pockets, the collapsing forint, increase of Inflation and Interest Rates, the inability of the Government, sooner than later, not being able to support capping processes through the collapsing Economy, not all of the reasons why Hungary, we are the MESS as a country, factually we are.
These points are literally “smashing” us and the quality of our lives and continue to WORSEN.
European Union relationship with Hungary is in TATTERS.
Deepening questions keep getting “fired” at Hungary in relation to Democracy – that the European Union clearly state Hungary no longer is a Democracy.
Victor Orban – in his DICTATORIAL manner – has introduced – Rule by Decree.
Funding is not going to HAPPEN – the “speil” or way – being told to us by this Orban led Government.
The propaganda machine of the Fidesz led Government under its Leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban – is presenting total FALSENESS – to the citizens of Hungary – “veiling” truth, through the use of their PROPAGANDA.
TRUTH – Hungary under the Government & Leadership of Victor Orban is – IMPLODING.
Hungary ;
‘When the Yoke is Broken,
the Burden is Removed.”
The EU consists of 26 countries and Hungary. Isn’t it time to leave the EU and let Orban clean up his own mess instead of blaming everything on the EU or Soros?
