Hungary&#8217;s prime minister on Saturday vowed to rid his country of those he claims work for the interests of foreign powers, saying his right-wing government will eliminate a global \u201cshadow army\u201d serving the European Union and a \u201cliberal American empire\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In a public address, which coincided with a national holiday commemorating Hungary\u2019s 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule, Viktor Orb\u00e1n told a group of several thousand supporters that Hungary in the coming weeks will uproot media outlets and other organisations that have received funding from abroad. \u201cAfter today\u2019s festive gathering comes the Easter cleaning. The bugs have overwintered,&#8221; Orb\u00e1n said. \u201cWe will dismantle the financial machine that has used corrupt dollars to buy politicians, judges, journalists, pseudo-NGOs and political activists. We will eliminate the entire shadow army.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Orb\u00e1n, in power since 2010, has used the 15 March celebration in recent years as a podium from which to launch increasingly hostile words against the EU. &#8221;There is always an empire that is trying to take away the freedom of the Hungarians, and right now it is the one in Brussels. Brussels is abusing its power, just as Vienna did in the past. They want to rule over us, just as the governors of the Viennese court did in the past,&#8221; he claimed. Hungary and Austria were the two states that formed the Habsburg-led Austro-Hungarian Empire, which ruled significant parts of central, eastern and southeastern Europe between the 18th and early 19th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Orb\u00e1n said that one task remained, to defend Hungary against Brussels&#8217; attacks. &#8221;Brussels&#8221; has, he claimed, &#8221;jumped headlong into the Russian-Ukrainian war&#8221;. &#8221;We did not jump into the war with Brussels, the empire does not want to help, but to colonise, the means of this is war, it will cost what it costs, and then Ukraine will gain EU membership.&#8221; Orb\u00e1n said there was only one answer: &#8221;European Union, but without Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/15\/hungarys-russia-friendly-prime-minister-attacks-the-eu-in-nationalist-speech\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/15\/hungarys-russia-friendly-prime-minister-attacks-the-eu-in-nationalist-speech\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/hungarys-pm-orban-slams-eu-and-pledges-crackdown-on-foreign-influence\/\">Hungary&#8217;s PM Orb\u00e1n slams EU and pledges crackdown on foreign influence<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[606,607,608],"class_list":["post-138278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
