He said they are aspiring to change everything in Brussels as Donald Trump did in the United States.
“We must stop migration, give up all the crazy gender ideas, transsexuals and the like. We must conclude a peace and push energy prices down as fast as we can so that the European economy may become competitive again. These are the main topics for next year,” the Prime Minister listed.
In answer to the question of whether he will present his peace plan designed to bring the war in Ukraine to a conclusion to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who has also been invited to the EU summit, Mr Orbán said “the plan is already on the table; take or leave it.”
In his words, “the plan is based on a very simple, but human feeling,” namely that the warring parties could announce a ceasefire for a few days at Christmas because we cannot allow thousands of young people to die on the frontline during the holidays.
“This is not unprecedented in European history. Even amidst the bloodiest fighting, a ceasefire could be concluded for a few days at Christmas. This was achieved even in bigger wars than this in Europe. People should stop killing each other on the frontline at Christmas, and should also exchange prisoners of war in large numbers, they should release a few hundred or thousand people so that they may go back home to their families,” he argued.
He stressed that “there are complex considerations in politics, but sometimes even simple proposals based on humanity, too, should be given a chance.”
In answer to the question of whether he is preparing for any bilateral meeting with the Ukrainian President on Thursday, Mr Orbán said “I’m on standby when working and on standby when sleeping. I’m always ready for all meaningful discussions.”
In the context of the question of whether the Patriots for Europe party group could be joined by new members after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni resigned her position as president of the European Conservatives and Reformers (ECR) and may be replaced by former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Mr Orbán said on Tuesday he spoke to Mr Morawiecki, and they agreed to intensify and broaden cooperation between the two party groups which could later also lead to a greater union.
