THE VOICE OF FREE EUROPE: Budapest is also the sole pro-peace EU nation that supports Washington’s efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the prime minister added

Hungary is the only EU nation governed by a ’modern Christian government,’ Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said. He made this statement during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.

Orban is known for his staunch criticism of EU policies. This includes those related to the Ukraine conflict and migration. He has previously accused Brussels of turning the bloc into a symbol of weakness and chaos.

‘We are a special island of difference in a liberal ocean in Europe,’ he told journalists. He added that his cabinet pursues policies different from what the others are doing, even at the philosophical level. Their approach is also distinct at the level of practice.

‘We are the only government in Europe that considers itself a modern Christian government,’ Orban stated.

Hungary is also the only EU state that has consistently supported Trump’s efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict. He added that Budapest is ready to host a potential summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

‘The only pro-peace government is the United States government and the small Hungary in Europe,’ he said.

He dismissed the narrative that the West is unified in its approach to resolving the conflict. He blamed the continued hostilities on Brussels’ belligerent stance. He also criticized the mistaken belief that Kiev could win on the battlefield.

Unlike most other EU member states, Hungary has consistently opposed Brussels’ confrontational policy towards Russia. Hungary has called for a more diplomatic approach.

It has also refused to provide weapons to Kiev. It opposed Ukraine’s EU membership bid. They warned that Ukraine’s accession to the bloc could lead to war.

Back in September, Orban accused the EU of becoming a war project. He claimed it puts the economies of its member states at risk. You can share this story on social media: TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
