At a rally to commemorate the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, Hungary’s Viktor Orban compared the EU to the Soviet Union and criticized the bloc’s support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s ongoing invasion.
Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Wednesday likened the European Union to the former Soviet Union and called on Hungarians to “resist” Brussels as they did Moscow in 1956.
Orban, who is closer to Russian President Vladimir Putin than any other European leader, drew the comparison in a speech marking the 1956 Hungarian Uprising against Soviet occupation, which was brutally put down by Russian troops.
Around 3,000 people were killed and 20,000 injured.
For the people equating Hungary to this, there was another rally 80 metres away filling streets and squares, chanting “Russkies go home”.
It was way bigger than this one that Orbán filled up artificially by mandating waterworks workers attend by force.
Orbán’s days are numbered. It will not leave the EU, and it will get back on its feet. All it needed was for the EU to stop financing Orbán.
You just restored some of my faith. Thank you :) 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
