Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban condemned the EU’s push for federalism and “offensive” LGBTQ policies. He accused the EU of trying to make Hungary a “copy of the United States,” with an “alien” ideology. Orban opposes a European superstate and rejects forced acceptance of liberal values.
Orban criticized the EU’s LGBTQ policies as “offensive” to Hungarians. He opposes teaching gender theory in kindergarten and displaying rainbow flags in public spaces. His government’s conflict with the EU extends to issues like immigration, rule of law, and LGBTQ rights.
The EU warned Hungary of potential sanctions if it does not comply. However, Orban remains steadfast in resisting the EU’s interference in Hungary’s affairs.
Opinions on Orban’s speech vary, with some praising his stand against the EU while others criticize his anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.
The EU has yet to respond officially to Orban’s speech, but it’s likely that the bloc will continue pressing Hungary to comply.
The conflict between Hungary and the EU is expected to persist in the coming months. Whether a resolution can be reached remains uncertain.
