Orban Urges Hungary to Resist EU, Echoing 1956 Soviet Standoff

In a controversial speech, Viktor Orban likens EU policies to Soviet oppression, calling for national defiance.

Viktor Orban, Hungary's Prime Minister, has called on citizens to oppose the European Union's influence, comparing it to the 1956 Soviet invasion.
Orban's remarks were made during a commemoration of the 1956 Hungarian uprising, a pivotal event in the nation's history.
The Prime Minister criticized the EU for allegedly trying to impose policies on migration and LGBT+ rights, which he claims undermine Hungary's sovereignty.
Orban's speech comes amid tensions over Hungary's perceived alignment with Russia and criticism of its domestic policies by the EU.
His comments have sparked controversy, with opponents accusing Orban of using nationalist rhetoric to divert attention from political challenges at home.
