IN an ongoing argument, Brussels froze around 20 billion euro’s in funds intended for Hungary over alleged ‘rule of law’ and ‘human rights’ concerns.
According to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen recently admitted that the European Union’s problem with Hungary was that it refused to accept immigrants and allow LGBTQ activists into schools.
In response to this, Orban said that such allegations are nonsense and that these are some concerns that Budapest cannot concede on.
On the issue of the LGBTQ agenda, Orban said that the upbringing of children, especially their sexual education belongs to families and their parents, not schools.
Meanwhile, on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Orban continues to refuse to send Kyiv weapons and instead has urged for peace with Russia.
To recall, in an attempt to further undermine Hungary, a group of European parliament members have initiated the procedure to strip the country of voting rights in the bloc.
More than one hundred members of the EU parliament in Strasbourg, France have signed a petition to strip Hungary of its voting rights in the EU.
A move launched By Petri Sarvamaa, a Finnish member of the European parliament earlier January.
