About the EU.
The EU suffers by anxiety, and she feels surrounded. The EU sees herself a rich and weak Union. She sees an insurrection, chaos around her. She sees the millions gathering in the Sahel preparing to cross the Mediterranean. And even South America looks hostile, they are talking about "indigenous genocide, slavery, and reparatory justice". Orbán said the IMF has a prediction to 2030, which states that from the top 10 most developed countries, the UK, France, and Italy will drop out, and Germany will slide down the the 10th place from the 4th.
The EU is scared, and tries to isolate herself. In Brussels they call it "decoupling" and "derisking" to make themselves feel better about it. For example they call the sanctions on Russia decoupling. With this action the EU doubled her own spending on energy (form €300 billion to €650 billion), and tries to compete with the rest of the world, whom still paying for the energy on the same price as before the war. We, Hungarians, will have to make do in this struggle of "derisking or connectivity" dilemma as they call it in Brussels.
Large European companies don't want decoupling. From the 1400 greatest Western companies, only 8,5% left Russia. The 88% of pharmaceuticals, 79% of mining, 70% or energetics, and 77% of manufacturing remained there. In 2022 they payed $3,5 billion dollars into the Russian budget. Here he interjects that how hypocritical is when the Ukrainian government bans the tiny Hungarian bank from Ukraine, and we have to reject this stance. He also notes that German import to Kazakhstan doubled in 2022 - which goods will find their way to Russia ofc.

Another challenge in the EU for Hungarians: have to decide where to stand, on the side of Federalists or the Sovereignists. Empire or nations? He considers the Brexit a great loss for the cause of the ones who wish to preserve national sovereignty. There was a balance, on one side there was France and Germany, in the other Britain and V4. We lost Britain, and in the attack Czechia went to the other side, Slovakia got imbalanced. There is some hope since Italy's government is Sovereignist now, Austria shows promising signs, and election is coming in Spain on Sunday. Federalists will intervene ofc.
