The strategic difference in the EU after the US elections, some want war, and some peace, Orban said.
It clearly shows the strategic difference that was created after the US presidential election, that is, the fact that there are some who want war and some peace, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said today at a joint news conference with Macedonian Prime Minister Christian Mickoski in Budapest.
In response to a journalist's question about the US military support for Ukraine, Orban said a summit in Brussels will be held on Thursday to discuss with French President Emmanuel Macron, as he said a strategic difference in the European Union after the US election.
– In Paris I will talk to the president of France, then a summit in Brussels will be held on Thursday. What could be covered and repaired so far with communication, smiles and press conferences, those tools no longer be used. It clearly shows a strategic difference that was created after the US presidential election, that is, the fact that there are some who want war and some peace. While only the Vatican and Slovakia, besides Hungary, they said they want peace – Orban said.
At the Brussels summit, he added, the Union will have to deal with this challenge, pointing out that it is an insurmountable difference.
-This difference could not be called significant if the United States does not switch to our side, but I would not want to boast about our position, but of course we are on the same side. Since then, that difference cannot be bridged. We need to deal with this challenge on Wednesday and Thursday. At this Summit of Prime Ministers on Thursday, there is another item on the agenda, regardless of the transatlantic cleft and military situation in Ukraine, we need to discuss what strategy it wants to apply Europe in economic terms, in trade sense, in the field of defense, etc. There we will try to find a way to cooperate – Orban said.
Regarding the telephone conversation he had with US President Trump on Sunday night, Orban stressed that they had a close relationship with Washington at all levels. He emphasized that the reason for the deepening of cooperation is now even greater because they have common values.
-We have a greater reason, a deeper reason for cooperation because we have common values. We are in a civilization struggle and in this fight we are fighting with the United States there are some other partners – Orban said and replied that Trump discussed more topics.
Concerning today's incident in Serbia's parliament, flames set fire to black smoke bombs and spread a banner that reads « Serbia has become for the regime to fall », said it was a private job for Serbia, but noted that after the US patriots had won, Orban was reinforced. He believes that Serbia is a victim of these attempts to destabilize, and as they said, their target besides Serbia are Hungary and Slovakia.
He noted that this mechanism is also used against Hungary. -If you still remember our fight against Soros institutions, then you know what I'm talking about. We plan to end that struggle by the end of spring – Orban said.
