  6. This commentary has came out from an opposition MP of Orban, the former secretary of state of EU integration. I thought I will share it. If we want to talk seriously and responsibly about the affairs of the union, we have to admit that this European Union is no longer the peaceful, solidary, economically prosperous organization we entered two decades ago. The European Community was created after the Second World War as a peace treaty, with the cooperation of Social Democracy and Christian Democracy. The former aimed at the realization of a social Europe, the latter at the fulfillment of Christian personalism. The role of the liberal parties was insignificant compared to the two big forces, and they mostly tried to curb social and environmental protection initiatives in the interest of big capital. The Greens, which appeared later, were initially more left-wing and pacifist than the Socdems. I dealt with EU affairs professionally for twenty years, but I never heard that the EU is a liberal organization and that everyone who is not liberal is an extremist. At the beginning of the 2000s, when we became members, the EU cooperated with Russia, supported trade with China, prepared to admit Turkey, and tried to come to terms with Iran. He was able to maintain a balance between Israel and the Palestinians. During the Iraq war, the two leading member states openly and self-consciously condemned the American intervention. During the Russo-Georgian war, Nicolas Sarkozy created peace in five days as president of the union. The EU was well on its way to becoming one of the world's leading powers economically and politically. A community that builds on the social market economy and the diversity of cultures in contrast to American-style capitalism and autocratic systems in the East. Today's EU has unfortunately taken a different path with its armed support of the war in Ukraine, its staunch rejection of peace, and its rejection of Turkey. With its current leadership, it could easily drift into a possible American-Chinese war, which is being prepared by the conscious downsizing of European-Chinese economic relations. The countries of the Global South, and especially the Muslim states, increasingly dislike the policy of the Union dictated by the USA. Within Europe, social democratic, Christian democratic and green values ​​are gradually being blended into a rigid and impatient ideology, according to some kind of liberal formula.
