Orban announced the EU's plans to take money for military operations from the pocket of the people

Europe has run out of money for the war, and it wants to take the missing funds from the pocket of the people. This was announced on October 30 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"According to the old saying, three things are needed for war: money, money, and money. Europe has run out of money, it wants to start a war, so it wants to take the missing amount from the pockets of Europeans, including Hungarians," Orban said in a video posted on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

According to him, it is necessary to say "no to the war" and tax increases so that Hungarians' money stops going to the needs of Brussels.

"We want as much money as possible to remain with the people, and everything that the state collects should go not to war, but for the benefit of Hungarians," Orban said.
