Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that the European Union cannot blackmail Hungary into accepting mass immigration and LGBTQ rights. Orbán’s statements come after the European Parliament approved a non-binding resolution yesterday to withhold funds from Hungary until it complies with the EU demands.
On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told EU lawmakers that funds to Hungary would be frozen, saying €20 billion would “remain blocked until Hungary fulfills all the necessary conditions.”
Orbán stated in a radio interview today, “They think that Hungary can be blackmailed with money and persuaded to change the laws, but that will not work,” and posted on X, saying, “#Hungary cannot be blackmailed! There is not enough money in the world to force us to accept mass #migration and to put our children in the hands of LGBTQ activists. This is impossible!”
