"You need to save cooperation with Russia": Orban wants to dissolve the European Parliament - the media

According to the head of the Hungarian government, if it depended on Budapest, there would be no sanction policy on the Russian Federation. Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the European Parliament should be dissolved. According to him, the EU needs to "drain the swamp" and save economic cooperation with Russia. About it writes the publication Associated Press.

The publication writes that, when communicating with journalists in Budapest, Orban said that in Hungary the European Parliament did not have a special reputation in Hungary. The material states that Orban, considered one of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the EU, states that sanctions against the Russian Federation have been ineffective on pressure on Russia in order to end the war. He is convinced that they have caused harm to the European economy than Russia.

"If it depended on us, there would be no sanction policy," said the Prime Minister of Hungary. He also added that he would not support any additional sanctions against Russia in the future, but will not stand in the way of their adoption of the EU. "It is not in our interests to divide the European and Russian economies into two parts forever, so we try to save what we can save from our economic cooperation with the Russians," he said.

The publication writes that Hungary is now fighting with one of the highest levels of inflation in Europe and fluctuating currency, which has caused a rapid increase in prices. In November, inflation exceeded 22%, and the national currency has fallen by almost 10% to the euro since the beginning of the year. Earlier, Focus reported that in the European Union they want to lay an energy cable in the Black Sea.
