‘As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, the world faces an entirely new reality. A reality where Russia and Putin are no longer portrayed as the greatest evil. A reality where diplomacy is once again regarded as the primary tool for resolving disputes between nations. A reality where the end of the conflict could be within arm’s reach. And a reality where, unfortunately, Ukraine and Europe appear increasingly irrelevant.’
As more than 60 NGOs appeal to Brussels to step in and fill the gap left by the halted US foreign assistance following Donald Trump’s decision to shut down USAID, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán vows that the globalist network will find no safe haven in Europe.
A recent report published by MCC Brussels exposed the European Commission’s opaque funding of NGOs and media outlets that promote its political agenda. The Brussels-based think tank has joined calls for the establishment of a European DOGE—an investigative watchdog similar to the one co-chaired by Elon Musk in the United States, which is currently working to dismantle deep-state strongholds in Washington.
‘Pro-war, anti-Trump, and frustrated European leaders are coming together with the clear intention of obstructing a peace agreement,’ Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó stressed on Monday. He was referring to the emergency summit hosted by Emmanuel Macron in Paris, where the most influential European countries are gathering to respond to US-led peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.
‘Numbers [during the Hungarian EU presidency] represent more than just achievements—they tell the story of a presidency determined to meet the expectations of Europe’s people and shape a better tomorrow for the continent, or as our motto puts it: Make Europe Great Again.’
After speaking with both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Donald Trump announced that negotiations to end the war in Ukraine would begin ‘immediately’. Meanwhile, Pentagon chief Peter Hegseth informed NATO defence ministers that the US is gradually withdrawing from Europe. These two announcements left EU leaders in shock and despair—but in reality, they present a historic opportunity for the continent.
Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index has once again ranked Hungary as the most corrupt member state of the EU, placing it alongside Burkina Faso and Cuba for the third consecutive year. However, this time, we exactly know the reason why. Our commentary.
US president Donald Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports to the United States on Monday, a decision that will heavily impact the European Union’s economy. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen promised proportionate countermeasures, signalling a broader trade war between Washington and Brussels in the near future.
‘Things sometimes get back to normal when they are already in a very bad place…But it seems that, both in its recognition of the need to strengthen competitiveness as an objective and in its sub-objectives, the Commission has moved from the ideological to the pragmatic, and this gives strong hope that the next generation will be able to live in a thriving Europe.’
As Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán pointed out, the ‘Trump tornado’ arrived in Brussels on Monday, turning everything upside down during the informal meeting of the European Council, which was also attended by NATO chief Mark Rutte.
