New Patriots of Europe EU Parliamentary Group Will Promote Peace & End Mass Migration
"We don't want a European empire."
The European Union should not become a federalized, centralized state, but should instead focus on ending mass migration and the war in Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told national media in an interview on July 1, the day his country assumed the revolving presidency of the EU.
Orbán stressed that the leaders in Brussels “have made a power pact whose only aim is to dominate the political positions in Brussels for another five years, but it won’t work because you can’t govern against the people, and that makes those of us who want change even stronger. It will lift us up, it will increase our strength and we will achieve this change. If not in two weeks, then in two months, but it will happen,” he said.
“We do not want a Europe that takes away, diminishes and erases everything that is important to us as patriots,” Orbán added, according to Hungarian news outlet Infostart.
