Tibor Navracsics on Hungary exiting the European Union:
“Hungary is not England, not Switzerland and not Norway. We would have just one alternative outside the EU, and that’s Russia, with which our experiences are pretty bad.”
Deputy Prime Minister Tibor Navracsics, responding to Jobbik MP Tibor Bana's question in Parliament on whether the government will hold a debate on quitting the European Union. Bana, whose party wants Hungary to leave the bloc, cited new polling data indicating that a plurality of Hungarians have lost confidence in Brussels. Navracsics responded that people are not tired of the EU, they are tired of the double standards that the EU applies to Hungary. No debate on exiting the EU is planned, Navracsics said. The deputy premier's comments were recorded by the Origo website.
