(UPDATE) Leaked EU Council Document Reveals Plans to Destroy Hungary's Economy if it Rejects Ukraine's Billions, Orbán Fights Back Against the Corrupt Globalists

UPDATE: February 1, 2024

At Thursday’s summit in Brussels, leaders from all EU countries agreed to send an additional 50 billion euros of EU citizens’ tax money to Ukraine to continue the war against Russia. Hungary initially opposed to the transaction from the proposal’s inception, ultimately caved in and said yes.

What ultimately led Hungary to change its stance is not entirely clear. Still, the country had been under heavy pressure, with threats of losing its voting rights in the EU Parliament and facing such severe sanctions that it would cripple the Hungarian economy.

However, Prime Minister Viktor Orban writes on X that they have secured guarantees that no frozen Hungarian EU funds will end up in Ukraine. They have also established control points along the way where the decision can be reconsidered or revised. According to Orban, what is needed is not more war funds but rather an end to hostilities and peace talks.

Mission accomplished. Hungary’s funds will not end up in Ukraine and we have a control mechanism at the end of the first and the second year. Our position on the war in Ukraine remains unchanged: we need a ceasefire and peace talks. pic.twitter.com/vui5NxPzGw

Hungary is the only EU country to oppose the huge money transfer unanimously. Among other things, Hungary points out that Ukraine’s public administration is plagued by serious and widespread corruption. Just days ago, it was revealed that money intended for weapons in the Ukraine war ended up in the pockets of high government officials.

Zelenskyy thanks and accepts money

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanks the EU for the support package.

– I am grateful to Charles Michel and the EU leaders. He writes on X that continued EU financial support for Ukraine will strengthen long-term economic and financial stability, which is no less important than military assistance and sanctions pressure on Russia.

Grateful to @CharlesMichel and EU leaders for establishing the €50 billion Ukraine Facility for 2024-2027.

It is very important that the decision was made by all 27 leaders, which once again proves strong EU unity.

Continued EU financial support for Ukraine will strengthen…

In a shocking revelation, a confidential document leaked from the EU Council has exposed a covert plan to wield financial power as a weapon against Hungary. If Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán continues to oppose the European Union’s controversial proposal to allocate 50 billion euros from the EU budget to Ukraine, the EU is prepared to unleash a series of crippling measures, including suspending all financial aid to Hungary. This move could result in a catastrophic run on the Hungarian forint and imperil foreign investment prospects in the nation.

Viktor Orbán has been one of the most vocal dissenters within the EU, consistently advocating for the provision of financial aid to Ukraine without the EU executive’s insistence on higher contributions from member states. This defiance has triggered an alarming response from Brussels, which is determined to tighten the screws on Orbán and his government.

According to a report by the Financial Times, the leaked document, attributed to an EU Council official, outlines a stark ultimatum: if Hungary does not align with the European majority and support the financing of Kyiv through the EU budget, all EU financial aid to Budapest will be suspended. This unprecedented move will exert tremendous pressure on Hungary and coerce compliance with Brussels’ isolated policy proposal.

The document explicitly acknowledges the potential consequences of such action. It warns that this maneuver could discourage financial markets and European and international companies from investing in Hungary, resulting in a swift escalation in the costs of financing the public deficit and the dangerous possibility of a currency collapse. Notably, Hungary retains its own currency, the forint, as it has not adopted the euro.

The European Union has resorted to controversial tactics in the past to ensure member states’ compliance. These have included withholding funds from Hungary and Poland, as well as imposing crippling austerity measures on Greece during the eurozone crisis. However, the deliberate attempt to engineer an economic collapse in a member state as a response to a policy disagreement is an unprecedented and highly contentious move.

Furthermore, the leaked document highlights the perceived vulnerabilities in the Hungarian economy that EU officials intend to exploit. These vulnerabilities include a high public deficit, a weak currency, and high inflation rates.

In response to this grave threat, Hungary’s Minister for EU Affairs, János Bóka, emphatically asserted that his country would not succumb to blackmail tactics. He stated, “This only confirms what the Hungarian government has been saying for a long time: access to EU funds is being used by Brussels for political blackmail. Hungary does not link support to Ukraine with access to EU funds and rejects other actors who do so. Hungary has participated constructively in the negotiations and will continue to do so, but it will not allow itself to be blackmailed.”

Zoltán Koskovics, a geopolitical analyst at the Budapest Center for Fundamental Rights, expressed his dismay at the plan. He described it as evidence that “madmen are ruling” in Brussels and emphasized the urgent need for elections to bring about change.

Balázs Orbán, the political director of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government, minced no words in his condemnation of Brussels’ actions. He accused the EU of blackmailing Hungary and undermining the rule of law. Orbán’s message was clear: “Something has to change in Brussels!”

The EU’s threat to punish Hungary’s economy over the Ukraine aid dispute has escalated tensions within the union and raised questions about the boundaries of political influence and financial coercion among member states. The coming weeks will undoubtedly reveal the extent to which Hungary stands its ground in the face of this extraordinary challenge.

As left-wing European leaders gear up for another confrontation with Hungary’s conservative Prime Minister, he made a public appearance on the streets of Brussels. Orbán expressed solidarity with farmers and voiced his objections to the policies and corrupt tactics of the European Union.

In a strong show of support for the farming community, large groups of farmers, wielding tractors and various farm machinery, have converged on Brussels to protest against the EU’s heavy-handed regulations on farming, including those related to nitrogen, carbon taxes, and other policies that threaten to devastate their industry. Belgian farmers, in particular, have taken a strong stance, blockading key transportation arteries and a major port in their vigorous opposition.

Orbán’s resolute opposition to the EU’s radical left-wing policies, corruption, and concerns regarding fund mismanagement transcends the ongoing Ukraine aid dispute. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in power since 2010, finds himself entangled in an enduring clash with Brussels over national soverignty and the principle of self-determination.

The leader of Hungary ardently asserts that the EU should respect the choices made by Hungarian voters and abstain from dictating the nation’s laws and policies. This prolonged feud with the EU has reached a pivotal juncture.

In a startling twist of events in December 2022, the European Commission took the unprecedented measure of freezing approximately €22 billion in EU cohesion funds earmarked for Hungary. Many interpreted this move as a display of the Commission’s authority and a contest for control over Hungary’s autonomous decision-making.

While a segment of these frozen funds, around €10.2 billion, was released in December, this release hinged upon Budapest’s compliance with specific EU-mandated judicial reforms. However, a significant sum of approximately €11.7 billion remains suspended as Brussels continues to voice concerns regarding Hungary’s adherence to its rule of law and purported democratic principles.

These concerns encompass a spectrum of issues, including allegations of favoring specific entities when awarding public contracts and Hungary’s stance on LGBTQ issues in educational institutions. A focal point of contention has been Hungary’s ‘child protection law,’ criticized by certain factions as discriminatory.

The Hungarian government enacted this law to safeguard parental rights, emphasizing that it empowers parents to have a say in their children’s sexual education. Critics on the left have labeled the law as homophobic, sparking vigorous debate within Hungary and beyond.

In response to the dangerous targeting of children by certain radical left-wing groups, Hungary has implemented comprehensive anti-child abuse and anti-pedophile legislation. This includes a prohibition on institutions promoting transgenderism and homosexuality to children under 18, with the intent of allowing parents to play a central role in addressing these sensitive issues with their children.

The ‘child protection law’ dispute has escalated to legal action, with fifteen left-wing-controlled EU member countries and the European Parliament joining a lawsuit initiated by the European Commission against Hungary. They argue that the regulation runs counter to EU ‘values.’ Notably, the Hungarian law confers decision-making authority solely to parents, rather than schools, regarding their children’s sexual education.

Another contentious issue contributing to Hungary’s strained relationship with the EU is immigration. Hungary has consistently resisted EU efforts to impose immigration policies related to the acceptance of incompatible Islamic migrants into the Christian country.

Hungary continues to prioritize maintaining its Christian identity, cultures, customs, and history from the European Union’s destructive globalist multicultural policies despite the left’s constant attacks.

Hungary’s history, even more than most European nations, has been a struggle for freedom. Hungary has had to fight off the Islamic Ottoman Turks, the Nazis, Soviet communists, globalist bureaucrats, and their media in the last century. As a result, Hungarians will not sacrifice themselves to Islamic invaders or Marxists to change societal norms and customs.

These multifaceted disputes underscore the profound divisions between Hungary and the European Union, reflecting broader debates about the limits of national sovereignty, cultural values, and political ideologies within the EU. The forthcoming months will likely witness the persistence of these tensions as both sides remain unwavering in their respective positions, further complicating Hungary’s relationship with the union.
