'Broken Marriage': Orban has Split from EU, Claims Leader of Hungary's Democratic Coalition

• 10 Mar 2025 11:51 AM

Viktor Orban has "split from" the European Union, the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) leader said.

Referring to Thursday's emergency EU summit, Ferenc Gyurcsany said Orban "broke off" from the bloc not because of "a piece of paper [or] a treaty", but because of the EU's "way of life, thinking and culture".

In a post on social media, the leftist politician insisted Orban's ties with the EU were like a "broken marriage" even if "the divorce has not yet pronounced yet".

Gyurcsany accused Orban of a betrayal of Hungary and "our historical path".

"There's no other option: we must oust the traitor or else we, too, will be defeated," he said. "In Europe we'll remain, but for this Orban must go."

Gyurcsany added: "Hungarians in Europe must fight together. Let's fight!"
