98% of Hungarians have expressed opposition to supplying weapons to Ukraine and are in favor of a ceasefire

These are the results of the “National Consultations on Defending Sovereignty.” This initiative was conducted under the auspices of the Hungarian government, Hungarian Forbes reported.

Based on polls published on the kormany.hu website, over 98 percent of Hungarians hold the opinion that instead of supplying weapons, there should be a cessation of hostilities and peace with our neighbor. They also believe that the country should not allow the creation of ghettos for migrants and emphasize the need to protect children. According to the government, stricter measures are needed against foreign influence.

As part of numerous national consultations, the government seeks to legitimize its position through clearly formulated questions, in this case, focusing on Hungary’s relations with the EU, the ongoing war in Ukraine and Ukraine’s EU membership. According to government statements, it is quite likely that, at least on a rhetorical level and on billboards, the fight against Brussels should become even more intense, and the results of the consultations (although they may be distorted) could legitimize many future steps by the government from rules regarding immigrants to even child protection.
