He said that at the EU summit in the Danish capital in early October, he made it clear that "we did not ask for this." After that, he said, a campaign was allegedly launched against Hungary, including accusations of espionage, fake news scandals, and legal manipulation.
We cannot just sit back! We must demonstrate once again that the Hungarian people do not want war. That is why today we are starting to collect signatures against Brussels' war plans. We will be there in every city and every village, because now we need all peace-loving Hungarians.
He later posted several photos from the Pesterzébet farmers' market, in one of which he is signing a petition "against EU military plans."
