VIKTOR ORBAN: We have to trust that the people will enforce peace from the bottom up. This is the only thing we can trust.

It's nothing new. @ArmstrongEcon and I have been saying this for years. Good for @PM_ViktorOrban to finally say it out loud as he pulls Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe away from the brink. https://t.co/QEqT5Rg0FQ

00:00.  Who has wanted war so far?  Some European politicians have wanted war, thinking that a country with nuclear weapons can be defeated through a conventional war.  Good luck with that.  Also, those who manufacture weapons always want war or some kind of armed conflict.  These are the arms manufacturers.  And now a 3rd group has appeared: Now the bankers also want you to continue, because, otherwise, how will they get their money back?  They can only recover their money if Russia is defeated militarily.  That is how it all comes together.  So I want to tell everyone not to trust that European politicians are sensible enough not to drag us into a war.  They are not sensible enough for that.  The only ones you can trust are the European people.  You can trust the people in Szeged, in Hungary, in Slovakia, in Croatia, in Italy.  We have to trust the people who will hold similar gatherings.  Let's not be mistaken: so far, this is only happening in Hungary.  In 6 months, there will also be large anti-war gatherings in Germany and in France.  We have to trust that the people will enforce peace from the bottom up.  This is the only thing we can trust. 

Viktor Orbán: First, we want to know what the huge amount of money we have given so far has been spent on

They want to [take] 50 billion euros from the member states to give to the Ukraine while they cannot even account for the money we have given them so far.  They want more money from the member states so that they can pay the interest on the EU loans previously taken out; these are the loans from which Poland and Hungary have not seen a single cent so far.  Frivolous to say the least.  They want even more money from us for migration but not for border protection but to bring in migrants, and, of course, they didn't forget about their own pockets.  They are asking for billions of euros to raise the salaries of Brussels bureaucrats.  The Hungarian position is clear.  First, we want to know what the huge amount of money we have given so far has been spent on.  Afterwards, we want to know who is responsible for bringing the European Union to the brink of bankruptcy?

Orban…. Badass! https://t.co/50y3G3kjxb
