“Today we are launching a petition against Brussels’ war plans,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in a Facebook post on Saturday morning.

“Heated autumn”, says Viktor Orbán

“We are facing a heated autumn. Europe is drifting ever faster towards war,” the Prime Minister wrote.

Orbán recalled that a few weeks ago in Copenhagen, Brussels’ war plan was presented: Europe pays, the Ukrainians fight, and Russia is expected to become exhausted. “We were not told how much this would cost or how long it would take. Instead of a real strategy, Brussels has once again produced nothing but wishful thinking,” he remarked.

“I made it clear in Denmark that we want no part in this. Since then, a campaign has been launched against Hungary. Their arsenal is extensive: accusations of espionage, fake news scandals, and legal manoeuvring. They have come after us in Brussels and set their domestic proxies in motion as well,” Orbán wrote.

“We cannot stand by and watch this happen. We must once again show that the Hungarian people reject war. That is why today we are launching a petition against Brussels’ war plans. We will be present in every city and every village, because now every peace-loving Hungarian is needed” the Prime Minister concluded.
