“In Brussels, the interests of the US president are constantly defended, not the European ones, which weakens Europe,” Orban said at a meeting with lawmakers of the Fidesz-Christian People’s Democratic Party alliance.

According to him, the tsunami sanctions, which became a response to the conflict in Ukraine, weakened the European economy but the United States, rich in cheap energy products, remains unaffected.

Europe has lost its independence, as well as its economic and military might in less than a year, Orban stressed.

The prime minister added that his nation must defend its independence, which means maintaining a peace-loving stance against Biden and EU´s administrations, resisting inflation, and strengthening Hungary’s military might, as peace needs strength.
