Orbán im Kossuth-Radio:

Written by Rainer Ackermann

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán gave his usual interview to the state-run Kossuth Radio on Friday. We’ve rounded up the most succinct quotes for you.

Orbán under Ursula von der Leyen,

“We must not see Ursula von der Leyen as a political opponent. All those prime ministers and politicians who are working against Hungary are our political opponents.”

“Our employee is Ursula von der Leyen. The problem is not her actions, but the fact that the heads of state and government let her get away with all this.”

… through the EU Parliament,

The “Patriots for Europe” are currently the third largest group in the European Parliament, but that is still no progress. I believe that patriots in the West will have a majority at the end of the year.”

“Politicians must achieve the will of the citizens. This must be reflected in government decisions – that is democracy!”

“Politicians like Manfred Weber cannot forget what people elected them and do things completely differently.”

“The left is pro-illegal immigration and pro-war, mocks conservative family policy and opposes it with its gender madness.”

… about the war in Ukraine,

“Unbelievable amounts of money are flowing into Ukraine. Money that is missing for farmers, for the transition to electromobility, for infrastructure. The war must end for more than just moral reasons.”

“Let’s not be naive! I have spoken to both sides in the Ukraine war and I have to say: Neither side wants peace. Both of them believe in their victory and that time is working for them.”

“The three powers that can create peace are the EU, the US and China. China wants peace, and the United States of America under Donald Trump. So all we have to do is convince the EU that it wants peace rather than war.”

“It’s like street football, where all the kids run after the ball. In professional football it is different: we have to stand where the ball goes. On the side of peace, where the world will go after November.”

… and about Trump’s assassination attempt.

“There are always attempts to attack politicians in the peace camp. But God did not allow Donald Trump to be murdered because he still has plans for him.”
