Hungary Says ‘No to War’: PM Calls for Mass Signatures Against Brussels’ Defense Plan
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced a nationwide signature campaign opposing the European Union’s new military strategy, which he warned could plunge Europe toward war!
Citing a recent EU defense plan unveiled in Copenhagen—summarized by Orbán as “Europe pays, Ukrainians fight, Russia exhausts”—he argued Hungary rejects such escalation and faces a coordinated smear campaign involving espionage accusations, fake‑news claims, and legal pressure.
Orbán urged every “peace‑loving” Hungarian to sign the petition, pledging to collect signatures across towns and villages and to submit the compiled document to EU leaders. He positioned the initiative as a democratic gauge of public opinion on the Ukraine conflict and the EU’s defence posture, emphasizing that Hungary’s stance will be shaped by the petition’s outcome.
Orbán is a rare leader !!!
