The European Union has revoked Hungary of its right to host the next summit. The EU supposedly has a rotating presidency of council to maintain the appearance that each state has an equal say in the direction of the bloc. The truth of the matter is that the unelected elite in Brussels control all of Europe and will silence dissenters, as Hungray\u2019s Viktor Orban recently learned.<\/p>\n

The next EU summit was to take place \u00a0August 28-29\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>was slated to be Hungary\u2019s opportunity to share its ideas for matters like foreign policy with the rest of the bloc. EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell planned a \u201cformal\u201d council meeting on the exact dates of Hungary\u2019s summit to undermine the country\u2019s voice in the bloc. Now, Borrell is revoking Budapest\u2019s ability to host the next meeting and moving it to Brussels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal, that being against the foreign policy of the European Union \u2026 has to have some consequences,\u201d Borrell told reporters. His reasoning is that Brussels vehemently disapproved of Orban\u2019s \u201cpeace mission\u201d after he met with leaders in both Russia and China this July. Borrell believes \u201call member states \u2014 with one single exception \u2014 are very much critical about this behavior,\u201d adding that he believed it was \u201cappropriate to show this feeling and to call for the next foreign and defense council meetings in Brussels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simply put, Orban wants to end the war in Ukraine, which is completely against the narrative of those in Brussels who want to promote the idea of Russian aggression to promote an escalation in war. \u201cMy job is to convince them to shift from the pro-war policy to a pro peace policy,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> Orban said. \u201cThey believe that they can destroy the military [of the] Russians \u2026 but I don\u2019t believe this at all, because I know the Russians, I know the Soviet Union, I know the Ukrainians. I\u2019m belonging to a neighboring country. I know the whole context. It\u2019s impossible to find a solution on the battlefield, we will lose every day thousands of innocent people,\u201d Orban told CNBC, also adding that \u201chuman life is the most precious thing we can lose,\u201d citing the thousands who have already died in this endless war.<\/p>\n

Add to this the trade tensions between Ukraine and Hungary. Hungary and Slovakia are exempt from the EU ban on Russian crude oil. These landlocked neighbors are to receive oil through the Druzhba pipeline, but Ukraine has prevented these nations from receiving shipments. Lukoil may be the main supplier using this line, but Russneft, Tatneft, and Gazprom also utilize this line, leading Ukraine to intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU sanctions, which we have disputed on several occasions, and which in this case have again been shown to have a greater negative impact on Slovakia and the EU than on Russia itself, clearly state that Slovakia has an exemption for oil imports until the end of the year,\u201d Slovak Juraj Blan\u00e1r explained in a joint-statement he made to the European Commission with his Hungarian counterpart, P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3. \u201cIt is strange that a country aspiring to be integrated with the EU is seriously jeopardising the energy supplies of two member states,\u201d P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 commented. Will the European Commission side with its members or Ukraine? What is the benefit of being in a \u201cunion\u201d that does not support you in any form?<\/p>\n

Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 said that Ukraine should forget the blocked\u00a0\u20ac6.5 billion in EU aid as they will not vote to help Ukraine as it threatens their energy supply. Hungary has been demonized by Brussels for blocking additional aid to Ukraine, with neocon Borrell still pushing to send Ukraine \u20ac1.4 billion by the beginning of August. There is no European Union. There is a European authority within the pretend union that controls all members.<\/p>\n
