Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he “does not want France at the head of the European Union,” adding that the elections to the European Parliament in May 2019 will be “decisive.”
“The Germans must be vigilant. There is a French concept, the principle of which is: the French government of Europe, paid for by German money, “Orban said. “This is something that I reject. We do not want the European Union to be led by France. “
After the migration crisis, the Hungarians took a rather tough position on migration policy, which often led to clashes with the European Union.
Currently, the EU intensifies the prosecution of the Hungarian government, seeking to ensure that asylum regulations for refugees are respected. Obviously, in the EU there are growing fears that Hungary, Poland and other eastern countries of the former Soviet bloc are turning away from the values on which the European Union is being built
