> **Hungary’s leaders make anti-EU and pro-Russia propaganda in Romania. Criticism of Russia sanctions**
> Mihály Varga, Hungary’s finance minister, on Thursday launched attacks on the European Union in a speech in Băile Tușnad, according to Rador, citing MTI news agency. FIDESZ leaders have a long-running campaign of attacks on the EU after the European institutions sanctioned anti-democratic slips by Viktor Orban’s government.
> The latest attack on the EU is the sanctions imposed by Brussels on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
> Hungary, whose government is close to the Kremlin, is still not allowing arms shipments from allies to Ukraine. Budapest has also opposed tougher sanctions on Russia.
> Now Mihály Varga, Hungary’s finance minister, says the European Union would be weakened by its own sanctions.
> “The sanctions that have been imposed are not working, there is no international cooperation on this issue and the EU is very concerned about the change in the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar. In this respect, Europe is “deeply in the corner of the losers,” the Hungarian finance minister said, adding that the sanctions policy is more a problem for Europe than for the country against which it was imposed,” according to MTI.
> Also in Tușnad, Hungarian Agriculture Minister Nagy István spoke of the looming food crisis and criticised Brussels’ policy, “which is good in peacetime, but not in wartime”, calling for each country to have its own agricultural policy, according to Agerpres. He made these statements at a time when Hungary’s agriculture, like Romania’s, depends heavily on EU subsidies.
> **We recall that the government in Budapest, which controls almost the entire Hungarian press, uses a profoundly anti-European and pro-Russian propaganda.**
