Orbán: they lied in Brussels to the people of Europe!
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told public radio on Friday that “they lied in Brussels to the people of Europe” when they said that sanctions would not be extended to energy, and that this would lead to a swift end to the war in Ukraine.
European citizens are currently paying a “sanctions surcharge” for energy, which makes the future unstable, he said. “The question is whether we will make the situation even worse, given that in Brussels they want to introduce more and more sanctions,” he said.
Referring to a planned “National Consultation” public survey on the European Union sanctions imposed on Russia in response to the war in Ukraine, the prime minister said that unity and cooperation were all the more important in times of crisis.
The survey is the “most legally flexible form” of involving people in the decision-making process, which “in my experience is politically the best thing to do in certain situations,” Orbán said.

Government planning pension premium this year
Orbán said that the government “expects” to pay a pension premium again this year. In line with its 2010 promise to protect the value of pensions, “it has given back the 13th month pensions”, based on the country’s economic performance, he said. “We are continuing to increase pensions in line with inflation,” he said.
When economic growth exceeds 3.5 percent, the government also pays a pension premium, Orbán added. “Although there is a debate about this, I think it will happen this year,” he said.

And you lied to the Hungarian people, so?
The only liar is our Prime Minister.
Seems the false statements have begun to add weight to his ‘national consultation’. Perhaps he should point out exactly where this statement can be found.
Let’s wait and see what else he claims Brussels has or hasn’t done….! He really has so little regard for the people of Hungary.
The Hungarian Government is – IMPLODING.
The proliferation of comments – the widening of Victor Orbans “hostile” and “aggressive” attacks, on the European Union, we have become ACCUSTOMED.
The European Union we KNOW – enough was enough – with Victor Orban & his Government, that now sees Hungary, no LONGER – words of the European Union – a DEMOCRACY.
“When the Yoke is Broken,
the Burden is Removed.”
Are not the growing number of PROLIFERATIONAL directed comments coming out of Victor Orban, can’t it be SEEN by the Citizens of Hungary, the growing position of paralysis – this Orban led Government – its position FACTUALLY is – that the Government/Fidesz Political Party – through its use of its PROPAGANDA machine – SMOUTHERING the Citizens with statements and opinions, that are just BLANTANTLY lacking in Honesty ?
It BROADENS – inside and outside the borders of Hungary – that stretches GLOBALLY – that Hungary, the Government of Hungary, under Prime Minister – Victor Orban – that his Government is – IMPLODING.
Governments – History never Lies – that FALL – that have been either under direct Dictatorships or in greater part – their Political structure and functionality – run conducted under an agenda of Dictatorship – the CITIZENS get wrongly “Screwed” – as the Dictatorial Governments collapse around them.
Hungary – the signs & actions of a Victor Orban led Government, walking this “perilous” path is present – and will WORSEN, in its DIRECTIVES and DEMANDS on us – the Citizens of Hungary.
