Orban answered the question about the sense of remaining in the EU: – You have to decide when the moment comes when it is worth deciding to leave, but it must be determined after a deep thought.

Tusk: This is also the stake of the next elections
On Thursday evening, the prime minister referred to Orban's words Donald Tusk. “Prime Minister Orban today talks openly about the exit of Hungary from the European Union. It was worth winning the election that Kaczyński's dream about 'Budapest in Warsaw' would never come true. This is also the stake of the next election” – wrote the head of the Polish government on Platform X.
