“It is better to talk for hours than shoot for a second,” Harald Vilimsky, MEP of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) told Eurasia magazine, arguing that the EU should stick to diplomacy rather than confrontation. He noted that both the FPÖ and Fidesz are calling for peace to be established as soon as possible in the war in Ukraine.
The FPÖ politician believes that the gap between the Brussels elite and European societies with real expectations is growing wider than ever.
The people of Europe are tired of war rhetoric and escalation. They want peace, stability, and prosperity — not another Cold War”
he said.
The MEP maintains that the policies of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other EU leaders are completely out of touch with the everyday experiences of ordinary Europeans.
The warmongering coming from Ursula von der Leyen and others in Brussels is completely detached from the reality ordinary Europeans are facing: high prices, illegal migration, and fear of conflict”
he emphasized.

In contrast to the position of most EU leaders, the FPÖ and Fidesz stand for a Europe based on sovereignty and diplomacy.
“The FPÖ and Fidesz stand for a Europe of peace and sovereignty, where nations decide their own future and diplomacy replaces aggression,” he pointed out, adding that he is certain that “the will of the European people is on the side of peace” and not on the side of endless confrontation.”

In the interview, he also emphasized the role of the Hungarian government. Harald Vilimsky said that Hungary is seen as a “courageous example” within Europe.
Prime Minister Orbán has consistently called for peace talks and refused to be dragged into the EU’s war hysteria,”
he said.
According to the FPÖ politician, the Hungarian government’s approach is the one that serves Europe’s interests in the long term. “This is exactly the kind of responsible, sovereignty-based policy Europe needs,” he emphasized.
“Prime Minister Orbán understood: peace cannot be achieved through more weapons and sanctions — only through diplomacy and respect for national interests,” he concluded.
FactPrime Minister Viktor Orbán, who is currently in Brussels, wrote on Facebook that he started Wednesday with preparatory talks, which was then followed by the start of the EU-Western Balkans Summit.
