In a speech on Wednesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán accused the European Union of attempting to overthrow his government and install a puppet regime in Hungary. Speaking on the country's national holiday commemorating the 1956 uprising against Soviet rule, Orbán drew parallels between past foreign occupations and the EU's alleged interference in Hungarian politics.
Orbán claimed that the EU views independent Hungarian politics as unacceptable and aims to replace the national government with a Brussels-backed puppet administration. Despite providing no evidence to support his assertions, Orbán rallied his supporters, questioning whether Hungary should bow to foreign influence or resist it, drawing parallels to the country's fight for freedom in 1956.
