Europeans and Hungarians think very differently about helping Ukraine

1. “Europeans believe that the most important areas for EU action in the mid term are security and defence, followed by climate and the environment. Health comes third, and the economy and migration are in fourth place. Hungarian respondents put the economy first, followed by defence, then migration, while climate, the environment and healthcare are only fourth.

   87% of Europeans and 85% of Hungarians agree that the Ukrainians should be given some form of humanitarian assistance in the war.

   In contrast, 72% of EU citizens and only 57% of Hungarians are in favour of economic sanctions against the Russian government, companies and individuals.”

2. Is Hungary no longer located in Europe…?

3. Fidesz sect and Hungary are not the same.

4. That’s what you get with a totalitarian state in service of Russia

5. To be fair the Ukrainian government before the war was discriminating against Hungarians.

   Ukraine has not been fair to Hungary over the years.

6. But Hungarians does not have a free press and base opinions on Orbans propaganda…

7. not Hungarians but Orban

8. The title implies that Hungarians are not Europeans lmao. What else are they, our cousins from the steps of Asia?

   Nonetheless, it is still somewhat pleasantly surprising that so many Hungarians still support these plans, despite Orban’s massive control over the media.

9. So it’s official, Hungarians are not Europeans. (or at least that’s what the title implies)

   *facepalm*

   the more I read about recent statements of Hungarian offcials are things happening in Hungary, the more insane surreal the whole thing becomes.

   After years of right-wing rule in Poland, one thing is certain to me. All the people striving to stay in power are doing more and more stupid things, which they are finding harder and harder to get out of, and which they are becoming more and more afraid to settle. This pushes them to do even more stupid things. And so regimes are born. For the most part, they are hostages to their own decisions, from which they cannot retreat.

   Hungarians, wake up and take to the streets. All of you!

10. [removed]

11. Maybe because they are Asians /s

12. EU reform much needed

13. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last

14. Well I dont, but the government makes sure that my voice is not heard.

15. But what do the Chinese police think?

16. Not too convinced the Hungarian people, because they elect a wrong ‘un regularly, and mostly because they are not wholeheartedly committed to EU & NATO, belong in the group of nations worldwide inside Europe and out, that love freedom and have democratic values and ideals.

17. Hungary is not Europe Let’s goooooooo
