Mr. Orbán warned that the EU is entering a state of disintegration and said the future of Hungarian sovereignty would be endangered by adopting the common currency.
Orbán’s comments come amid tensions with Brussels over fabricated claims about the rule of law, the suspension of EU funds as punishment for Hungary’s stand for peace between Russia and Ukraine, and opposition to Brussels’ interest in prolonging the war to sustain its financial machinery.
He also pointed to Hungary’s strong fiscal and economic performance, which surpasses that of many EU member states.
He argued that adopting the euro would be the “closest possible link” to a weakening union.
Neighboring states such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania also wisely remain outside the eurozone trap.
Orbán’s remarks underscore his continued resistance to deeper EU integration under its current anti-democratic conditions.
