US VP Blames EU Bureaucrats for Rising Energy Costs, Migration
Speaking in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, Vance accused EU officials of undermining national interests. "We reject the faceless bureaucrats who would drive your energy costs through the roof and open your country to millions of unvetted foreigners in the name of progress," he said.
He called on Hungarian voters to resist external political influence and emphasized the importance of making independent choices ahead of the upcoming election. Referring to EU leadership, he stated: "The bureaucrats in Brussels … should not be listened to. Listen to your hearts … and listen to the sovereignty of the Hungarian people," he said.
Vance also alleged that EU authorities use financial leverage to pressure member states, contrasting his stance with theirs. "I, unlike some of the leadership of Brussels, I'm not threatening you or telling you that we're going to withhold funds to which you're legally entitled," he said.
In addition, he accused officials within the bloc of corruption, claiming they "turn a blind eye to the corruption of Brussels," where "bureaucrats become millionaires by threatening and cajoling the sovereignty of the people across this beautiful continent."
During his remarks, Vance portrayed Hungary’s approach to energy and migration as a distinct path within Europe, aligning himself with the policies of Viktor Orbán.
