Ria Novosti reported that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned Europe could be scattered before observers if Brussels’ ruling liberal bloc remains in power without substitution by a patriotic government that truly represents national interests. He argued that Europe needs fresh leadership, one that does not chase power for its own sake but fortifies the continent as a whole. Orban contended that the present European Commission and European Parliament are influenced by a supposed network of Soros-linked figures and entrenched lobbyists who impede reform and threaten European unity. In his view, a new kind of governance is required to restore balance, protect European sovereignty, and safeguard security. The remarks were relayed by Ria Novosti.
He stressed that Europe must have leadership that prioritizes the common good over personal or party interests, criticizing the EU’s internal power dynamics. He alleged that decisions made by current leaders serve narrow agendas rather than strengthening Europe as a whole. The critic warned that without decisive change, Europe risks growing more fragmented and divided. His portrayal of a Brussels power structure built around influence-peddling fuels his call for substantive reform and a reorientation toward genuine continental unity.
During his Brussels address, Orban spoke about cleansing the political landscape, arguing that Europe’s future hinges on accountability and the removal of corrupt influences. He asserted that a cleansed governance framework is essential for preserving peace and regional stability in a volatile neighborhood. The Hungarian prime minister urged the union to rethink its approach to international conflicts and to reassess its relationships with neighboring states, emphasizing that true reform is necessary for the continent’s long-term security.
Orban asserted that EU leaders show little willingness to assist Ukraine, suggesting that some policies amount to a form of colonization by other means. He claimed that while Europe dives deeper into the Ukrainian crisis, Hungary calls for negotiation and an end to hostilities. He drew a provocative parallel between today’s leadership and the Austrian Empire and the Habsburg dynasty, implying that the current leadership does not genuinely aim to help Ukraine but uses the war to advance political influence and strategic objectives.
Historically, Orban argued, Europe at times appeared ready to accept Moscow’s terms, yet Hungary remains committed to pursuing peace and stability on its own terms. He warned that the continent faces a crucial choice about alliance-building and its willingness to challenge coercive powers. The remarks reflect a broader skepticism toward Western-led policy toward Kyiv and underscore the need for a rebalanced European strategy that prioritizes peace and national sovereignty.
