Hungary should fight against the leadership in Brussels in the same way as they did against the rulers in Moscow in the 1950s.

The order comes from Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who continues to criticize the EU, despite his country currently holding the presidency of the EU Council of Ministers.

Do we bow to the will of a foreign power, this time from Brussels, or do we resist it? I suggest that our answer should be as clear and unambiguous as in 1956. For us, the lesson from 1956 is that we must fight for one thing: for Hungary and for Hungarian freedom, said Orbán in Budapest on Wednesday, according to the AFP news agency.

About 3,000 people were killed when Soviet forces brutally crushed a brief Hungarian attempt to break free from Soviet rule.

Today's Hungary has been a member of the EU since 2004, but is frequently in conflict with the EU Commission, the EU Parliament, and other EU countries, not least when it comes to the view on Russia's war in Ukraine.
