The policy of sanctions did not bring the expected effect to the European Union. Moreover, it turned out worse for Europe itself.
This is the opinion of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
At first I thought that we just shot ourselves in the foot, but now it seems that the European economy has shot itself in the lungs and that is why it is now suffocating everywhere, – Head of the Government of MIA “Russia Today”.
Orbán’s gloomy expectations
The charismatic Hungarian also recommended that employed citizens value their jobs, since, according to him, an economic recession is coming in Europe.
He added that all the studies, forecasts and analyzes that he had studied show a bad future for the EU.
And all because of the combined effect of sanctions and the situation in Ukraine. This has already led to the fact that the economy of the Old World is, as Orbán put it, “beginning to shrink.”
Viktor Orban has no doubt that from the conflict in Ukraine, “China will win, America will not lose, and Europe will suffer.”
The prime minister outlined the following picture: there will be countries without gas, and there will be countries with gas, but at a high price.
Disaster for Europe
He placed Hungary in the latter category. But even then with one condition: if Budapest manages to keep the price of gas “at a tolerable level.”
In this regard, he stated that the Hungarian government had taken important timely measures, in particular, declaring a state of emergency in the energy sector.
What is happening is a disaster for Europe and very painful for Hungary,” the country’s leader noted.
He noted that the authorities are working day and night on how to avoid the situation in which the whole of Europe finds itself, looking for an option in which Hungary will be least affected by negative consequences.
