Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that Hungarian funds should be directed towards the country's internal development rather than the luxurious lifestyles of oligarchs in other countries. According to him, this issue is causing serious public dissatisfaction in light of corruption scandals in Ukraine.
The editorial reports that posters depicting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have appeared on the streets of Budapest and other cities. The posters symbolically show them pouring European funds into a golden sanitary junction.
According to information, this campaign is linked to corruption scandals that have occurred in both Ukraine and Belgium. Critics believe that the distribution of European Union funds is not transparent, which is increasing dissatisfaction in member states.
Official Budapest justifies its position by stating that Hungary's national interests should be prioritized above all else, and taxpayers' money should primarily be spent on socio-economic projects within the country.
