Transcript

00:00Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has lashed out at the EU with a claim that the bloc was seeking to topple his government.

00:07Orbán's comments come as Hungary commemorated the anniversary of the 1956 revolution.

00:13They have announced that they will be freed from the national government of Hungary.

00:19They have also announced that they want to put a Brussels-Bab government on the country's throne.

00:28Again, here is the old question, do we bow to the foreign will, this time to the Brussels will, or do we oppose it?

00:38This is the crucial decision awaiting Hungary now.

00:42I suggest that our answer be as clear and clear as it was in 1956.

00:49Meanwhile, Orbán's main rival, the opposition Tisza party, held a massive rally in Budapest to commemorate the revolution.

00:59We still have leaders who accuse another nation when the same Russians attack them.

01:08Hundreds of Hungarian freedom fighters were tortured and killed in 1956 and during the subsequent overthrow.

01:19Only two major political events took place in Budapest on the anniversary of the 1956 revolution.

01:26The Fidesz and the Tisza party, which could celebrate a great day, as it was the first time today that Fidesz won in a public opinion poll.
