Hungary's Prime Minister, Orbán, expresses feelings of detachment towards Germany and Sweden today
In a heated exchange between leaders, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Swedish counterpart, Ulf Kristersson, have found themselves at odds over issues of immigration, rule of law, and national values.
The confrontation began in September 2025, when Kristersson criticized Orbán for undermining the rule of law and obstructing EU work. This was in response to Orbán's stance on migration, which he has stated can be regulated but must be stopped.
Orbán, in turn, accused Sweden of abandoning traditional values, neglecting common sense, and allowing barbarism to spread. He shared a compilation of scenes from Germany and Sweden, contrasting them with peaceful images of Budapest, to drive home his point. The footage included images of migrant caravans entering Germany in 2015 and scenes of riots at pro-Palestine demonstrations and migrant hooligans in modern-day Germany and Sweden.
However, Orbán also praised Sweden, saying, "We are concerned about you, God bless Sweden." He described the country as a noble and great nation, but expressed concern about its order and security, citing the exploitation of children by criminal networks.
Kristersson responded angrily, calling Orbán's statements outrageous lies. He suggested that Orbán's criticism is part of a desperate election campaign. In response, Kristersson shared a video expressing concern about gang crime in Sweden, suggesting that dangerous people should be behind bars.
Notably, Hungary, according to Orbán, belongs to the Hungarians, and Europe to the Europeans. He emphasized that the number of immigrants unlawfully present in Hungary is zero.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Kristersson has taken Orbán's words to heart. The exchange between the two leaders has sparked a wave of debate and discussion, with both sides presenting their perspectives on immigration, national values, and the rule of law.
