Speaking to reporters after the European Union Summit, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said his country will not approve the entry of Ukraine into the EU for at least the next 100 years.
“I think that in the next hundred years, there will be no parliament in Hungary that would vote for Ukraine’s accession to the EU,” he said."We don’t want them to join the EU,” the Prime Minister pointed out, TASS reported.
Accusing the Ukrainian government of trying to interfere in the Hungarian elections, Orban said, “We must admit that Ukrainians will be active participants in the Hungarian [election] campaign because it is in their fundamental interests to change the government in Hungary. I am not thrilled about this, and we will fight it.”
Parliamentarian elections are being held in Hungary on April 12. Where Orban’s Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Alliance party and its coalition partner, the Christian Democratic People’s Party, are running against the opposition Tisza (Respect and Freedom) which is supported by the EU leadership and by the largest faction in the European Parliament, the European People’s Party.
