Orbán votes against Ukraine's membership in EU

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb?n has voted in a national consultation in which Hungarians are asked if they would support Ukraine's accession to the European Union, and he even showed the whole process. Source: European Pravda; Viktor Orb?n on Facebook Quote: "Brussels and the Tisza party [opposing Orb?n - ed.] support Ukraine's accession to the EU.

This will destroy the Hungarian economy. We will not allow them to decide our future over our heads. I have already voted."
