Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has criticized the current state of the European Union, claiming the union is almost unrecognizable from when Budapest joined 20 years ago.
Orban was a strong supporter of integration in 2003, when Hungarians voted overwhelmingly for their country to become a member of the EU.
The Hungarian leader noted that the bloc's policies have changed significantly since then. He still believes that being part of the union is in the national interest, but listed several points on which he disagrees with Brussels.
When Budapest joined the bloc, it did not expect to be forced to accept immigrants from other parts of the world or to come under pressure for constitutional protections of the family, defined as based on a marriage between a man and a woman, Orban said.
The admission "was not about maneuvering European leaders into a war instead of peace," he added, referring to the arming of Ukraine against Russia.
The Hungarian Prime Minister urged EU citizens to vote in the upcoming European Parliament elections for parties that support a peaceful solution to the Ukraine conflict, including the Fidesz Party he leads in Hungary.
