Orbán Accuses EU of Plotting to Overthrow His Government

Hungary's Prime Minister claims the EU aims to install a puppet regime, escalating tensions with Brussels.

Viktor Orbán made the allegations during a speech commemorating Hungary's 1956 uprising against Soviet rule, drawing parallels between past and present foreign influence.
The EU has not publicly responded to Orbán's claims, which were made without evidence.
Tensions between Hungary and the EU have been high due to Hungary's opposition to EU sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine.
Orbán's speech comes amid declining support for his Fidesz party, which is now trailing the opposition Tisza party in polls.
The EU has withheld financial support from Hungary over rule-of-law violations and has considered further punitive measures.
