EU party labels Hungarian PM “enemy of Europe” over unity claims

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been called an “enemy” of Europe by the European Democrats for allegedly undermining unity and peace within the European Union.

The party made the statement on its official X page in response to Orban’s recent comments claiming that Ukraine has become an “enemy” of Hungary, asserting that Kyiv is attempting to cut off Budapest’s access to cheap energy supplies from Russia.

“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared Ukraine an “enemy” of Hungary during a rally on 7 February, attacking Kyiv’s EU ambitions and criticising the planned ban on Russian gas imports.

If there is an enemy here, let us be clear: it is not Ukraine. It is Orbán himself. An enemy of Europe, because he undermines unity and peace. And, above all, an enemy of the Hungarian people, whom he is isolating and betraying,” the post noted.
