The European Union counts for nothing and Donald Trump is wrong about Putin.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban supported this in a conversation with Repubblica on the sidelines of his visit to Rome, where he met with Pope Leo XIV and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at Palazzo Chigi. "The most important point of the discussion with your prime minister is the future of the European economy, because there is very little left to do about the war in Ukraine. We have outsourced the ability to resolve this war to the Americans and Russians. Unfortunately, we have no role. Europe is completely out of the picture." Donald Trump is wrong with his crackdown on Vladimir Putin, he continues, and for this reason, "I will soon be with him to resolve the oil sanctions issue."

Regarding the economy, "the main problem is the loss of competitiveness of the European economy. In particular, the green transition and the decisions on the table at the Union, the so-called ETS2 (the directive on emissions), which will increase the price of energy for homeowners and car owners. In short, for our people. Finally, we must work to make the Italian and Hungarian economies more competitive ."

At the end of the meeting, a statement from Palazzo Chigi was released: "Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban discussed the opportunities offered by the European Safe instrument, evaluating possible synergies between Italy and Hungary to support their respective industrial and technological capabilities."

This morning, the Hungarian Prime Minister met with the Pope and Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State . "During the cordial meeting in the Secretariat of State, the solid bilateral relations were underlined, as was the appreciation," the Holy See reports, "for the Catholic Church's commitment to promoting the social development and well-being of the Hungarian community, with particular attention to the role of the family, the education and future of young people, as well as the importance of protecting the most vulnerable Christian communities. Ample space was also given to European issues, with particular attention to the conflict in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East ."
