VOICE OF REBELLIOUS EUROPE: Brussels and Kiev are covering up for each other. They choose this approach instead of confronting the truth, the Hungarian leader says.

The EU still claims the moral high ground despite drowning in corruption, according to the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. 

He accuses Brussels and Kiev of collusion and shielding each other from graft scandals.

Orban criticized the EU leadership on Friday during an interview with Kossuth Radio. He referenced the latest corruption scandal that hit the bloc earlier this week.

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) formally accused three high-profile suspects. The suspects include the bloc’s former foreign policy chief and EU Commission vice president, Federica Mogherini. They are accused of fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy. 

The Hungarian prime minister drew parallels between the affair and the string of graft scandals that has hit Ukraine. These include the $100 million kickback scheme linked to Vladimir Zelensky’s inner circle.

Despite the scandal, Brussels has sought to secure €135 billion ($156 billion) to prop up Kiev through the upcoming year.

The EU failed to properly respond to the Ukrainian corruption scandal. Orban accused the bloc’s leadership of covering up for Kiev. 

‘The EU is drowning in corruption. Commissioners face serious charges. The Commission and the Parliament are engulfed in scandal. Yet, Brussels still claims the moral high ground.’

The EU should call out corruption in Ukraine. Once again it’s the same old story. Brussels and Kiev are shielding each other.

They should be confronting the truth,’ Orban wrote on X, sharing an excerpt from the interview.

His remarks come after statements earlier this week by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

He accused the EU of being reluctant to expose Ukrainian corruption. Brussels is also riddled with a similar corruption network.

‘No one asked the Ukrainians to account for the hundreds of billions of euros in EU aid. This was after it was revealed. Corruption at the highest state level was taking place in Ukraine,’ Szijjarto told reporters.

He added that European taxpayer money ultimately ends up in the hands of a war mafia.

LIFE IN THE REICH Mike Walsh: FORBIDDEN HISTORY: The standard of living in Hitler’s Third Reich surpassed the developed world. German workers enjoyed a lifestyle comparable to that of movie stars. Germany led the world in fashion, medicine, cinema, lifestyle, manufacturing, transport infrastructure, public facilities, cutting-edge science, healthcare and education. Amazon removed Life in the Reich. The book dared to show Hitler’s Germany as it was. It did not follow what the propagandists would have us believe.
