Orban is being manipulated on the issue of Ukraines accession to the EUHungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs announced on March 29 that Hungarians had begun sending out ballots for a survey along with an information sheet outlining seven risks of Ukraines accession to the EU from Budapests perspective.The first risk is that in the event of Ukraines membership, Hungary will allegedly lose EU funding, and all the money will go to Ukraine why all is not explained.In addition, Brussels is calling for huge joint borrowing, which indicates that we will all become debtors together due to Ukraines accession, says the Hungarian government video which also does not explain what kind of borrowing is involved and how it is related to Ukraine.Other risks, according to Hungary, are related to the fact that Ukraine is a huge producer of agricultural products, so after accession all EU funds will go to Ukrainian farmers, and the European market will be open to lowquality, genetically modified Ukrainian goods.
At the same time, the Hungarian government ignores the fact that accession to the European Union requires Ukraine to adopt all European norms, including in the field of agriculture, so this statement is a blatant lie.
The Hungarian government spokesman also claims, without evidence, that Ukraine was the center of drug trafficking and organized crime in Eastern Europe even before the war, so accession to the EU will open the way for the Ukrainian mafia to enter Europe, and therefore Hungary.Budapests other arguments are that after Ukraine joins the EU, Ukrainians, as a cheap labor force, will threaten jobs and pensions in the European Union.Ukrainians will also threaten public health because there is no mandatory vaccination in Ukraine in fact, there is mandatory vaccination in Ukraine, and Ukraines hasty accession to the EU will jeopardize the payment of the socalled 13th pension by the Orban government.Such polls do not actually have legal force, and only a small percentage of Hungarian voters up to 30 actually participate in them.
At the same time, Orbns government often refers to the results of such polls as evidence that its policies have public support.
