Orbán Viktor Outlines Twelve Demands to the European Union
Hungarian Prime Minister invokes historical revolutionary mandates to present clear expectations for EU relations
In a recent Facebook post, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán reiterated the demands of the 1848 Revolution, drawing a parallel to the historical document "What Does the Hungarian Nation Want" as he outlined twelve expectations from the European Union.
The manifesto concludes with the call for "Equality, Freedom, Brotherhood!".
Orbán emphasized the need for a "Europe of Nations" and underscored the principle of equality among member states under the law.
He called for the restitution of powers that he deemed "illegally abstracted" from nations, as well as insisting on a strong veto right for governments within the EU structure.
His list included demands for the exclusion of "Soros agents" from the European Commission and the removal of "corrupt lobbyists" from the European Parliament, alongside calls for the liquidation of the European Union's debts.
Addressing migration, Orbán urged Brussels not to impede border protection efforts and demanded the removal of illegal immigrants from Hungary.
In matters of cultural policy, he advocated for a ban on what he described as the "unnatural re-education of children" while calling for the protection of "Europe's Christian heritage".
The manifesto concluded with a call for establishing European peace, with a notable assertion of "Union, but without Ukraine".
Meanwhile, as Hungary prepares for the celebration of the national holiday on March 15, multiple events are set to take place across Budapest, prompting traffic restrictions in the city.
The official state ceremony will commence at 10:30 AM at the Hungarian National Museum, where Prime Minister Orbán is scheduled to deliver a speech.
Opposition parties are also organizing events at various locations: the Multiple Colored Dog Party will gather at the Liberty Bridge at 2:00 PM, while the Tisza Party and the Our Home Movement will hold their meetings at 3:00 PM, the former on Andrássy Avenue, and the latter at Pilvax Square.
These political events indicate a marked preparation for the upcoming parliamentary elections expected in 2026.
