EU presented the budget of the next 7 year budgetary cycle.
This is a war budget, everything is centered around the logic of war. 20% of all the spending will go to Ukraine. The rest won't be spent on agricultural, economic development, but military preparations. This is about an EU in war against Russia. It fights a war against Russia on the soil of Ukraine, in the hope that a defeat of Russia will collapse the system, open up liberalism, and the Yeltsinian times will return which they think will be good for business.
Hungary needs a budget that needs a development budget, and we won't accept this budget as the foundation for negotiations. Other EU leaders won't even talk to the govt. they expect a new one in 2026 anyway. 
BUT.
He says we already got half of the EU gibsmedats from this cycle. The EU holds back the other half. A new EU budget needs unanimous vote, and as long as we don't get the dough there won't be new EU budget. We will bring home this money and we won't make concessions from our sovereignty.
So basically the EU buys our vote for this "war budget" with the money that's ours - they just hold it back - and our Party and Government tells us that this is somehow a great victory for us. Orbán does this with everything. He tells us he'll veto everything, then for something symbolic in return he doesn't and we have to celebrate. With the latest 18th sanction package against Russia was this: we got a paper guarantee that ensures us we shouldn't need to worry about energy prices. What the fuck.
After this he talks about how the opposition parties were promised they'll get the money if they manage to win in 2026 and do bunch of stuff for the EU (like accepting migration pact or supporting Ukraine and such).
