Orban accused EU leaders of political blackmail

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused EU leaders of political blackmail and said they should resign due to the fact that they failed in all key projects.

"Now EU leaders are in the EU with key projects that they have chosen, specified as green transformation, sustainable improvement policy, migration, sanctions and pro-war policies, and they have all failed. The EU's current leadership must go, we request fresh leaders," said Orban at a press conference whose recording was published on the social network X.

According to him, Brussels uses the regulation of law and the conditionality mechanics as a "political blackmail" due to the fact that European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen "clearly said" that Hungary would not receive money from EU funds "because of its migration and anti-gender policy".

The European Commission proposed in September 2022 to launch a peculiar conditionality mechanics for Hungary, explaining that this is essential to defend the EU budget "from violations of the regulation of law". This meant that around €7.5 billion would be frozen from the EU to Budapest. The EC then maintained the restrictions on payments to Hungary from the common EU funds, although Orban claimed that Budapest fulfilled the full list of requirements that included measures to combat corruption, to increase transparency of public procurement and to strengthen the independency of the judiciary.
