The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, has asserted that the European Union aims to establish a 'Jawohl government' in Hungary, similar to what it did in Poland. He has pledged to oppose these intentions.
Orban faced criticism from 13 EU member states on Monday following his visit to Georgia, where he praised the country's government for conducting a fair and democratic election. In contrast, EU leaders have supported the Georgian opposition's claims that the election was tainted by irregularities.
On Tuesday, Orban took to X to highlight that two influential German figures in Brussels are seeking to replace his administration with one that would be more compliant with their directives, mirroring their actions in Poland last year.
“There’s an open conspiracy against Hungary led by Manfred Weber and President [Ursula] Von der Leyen,” Orban remarked, emphasizing that they have expressed a desire to establish a new 'Jawohl government' in Hungary, akin to the current regime in Poland. “We will not let this happen!” he asserted.
In a recent radio interview, Orban elaborated on this issue, including a video that captured his points.
In his statements, Orban described how EU officials have suggested that his government should be supplanted by the opposition, recalling how they succeeded in Poland by installing Donald Tusk, the former European Council chair, as prime minister.
The term ‘Jawohl’ is a German response often used to indicate compliance. Orban referenced it because both Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party in the EU parliament, and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, are German.
“We call what they want a ‘Jawohl’ government. So you get a phone call from Brussels or Berlin, and then you have to say ‘Jawohl’! And then it must be done,” Orban explained during an interview with the national broadcaster Kossuth.
He continued, pointing to Poland's previous independent stance on various issues, despite aligning with Western views regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Orban described the situation leading to Tusk's rise as prime minister in Poland and suggested that Hungary is now facing a similar scenario.
“This is not even a secret conspiracy against Hungary; this is a plan they announced openly,” Orban stated. “I was sitting there, they said it to my face.”
