"The EU will collapse; It will be the last budget..."

"Hungary has only two choices, in a strategic sense. One choice is to join the politics of Brussels. That, in my opinion, would be disastrous, with consequences that would push us into chaos and poverty," Orbán told supporters of his Fidesz party.

Political analysts predict that Orbán will face the most difficult elections since he came to power in 2010. The Hungarian economy is stagnating, and inflation prevents the reduction of interest rates, which amount to 6.5 percent, which is the highest interest rate in the European Union.

Orbán has repeatedly clashed with the EU over the rights of migrants, the LGBT community, the freedom of courts and academics, as well as over support for Ukraine, and at the party meeting held on Sunday, he also expressed doubts about the future of the European Union.

"The European Union is falling apart in front of our eyes. Only a fundamental reorganization can stop the forces that are tearing the Union apart. If we do not act, the next budget will be the last budget of the European Union," he warned.

"We are facing the task of drafting the EU budget for the period 2028-2035. Even if it is adopted, which is very unlikely, it will be the last seven-year budget," he noted.

"In order not to collapse, the EU must be thoroughly reorganized. Because today the forces that divide it are growing, while the forces that hold it together are disappearing. Reorganization could reverse this trend, making it in the interest of the majority of member states to remain in the EU," he added.
