Orbán described the current European Commission as „the worst one” he had ever seen, which had turned into a „war council”, and the European Parliament was slowly becoming a „war body”, while people were moving towards peace. He said they had made „all kinds of plans that they are unable to put into action”, like ending the war by adopting sanctions, and making industry competitive through a green transition, but industry seemed to be dying in the meantime. „It is not just about the war … but we are also talking about the viability of European democracy as a whole,” he said. „The will of the people is what should happen in Europe,” he said. „If people want peace, then there should be peace. If they want the green transition to be rationalised, then let it be rationalised. If they don’t want farmers to be ruined by these idiotic rules, then those rules should be changed.” He said the election was not only about how Hungary’s 21 seats should be distributed among the parties, adding that everything had a far broader meaning and far bigger things were at stake than usual.
