“Brussels will only contribute to the school milk and fruit program if Hungary joins the ranks of countries supporting gender propaganda and migration. We will not give in to blackmail; for us, the interests of Hungarian children always come first,” said Minister of Agriculture István Nagy.
According to the minister, the European Commission’s new EU budget proposal, which would tie agricultural subsidies to these rule of law conditions, is outrageous, unacceptable, and threatens food security. In other words, Brussels would once again jeopardize food security and the livelihood of Hungarians because of differences of opinion on migration, gender, or war, he said.
He emphasized that it is particularly disturbing that these rule of law conditions would also apply to school fruit and milk programs. With this move, Brussels would tie funding for programs that provide healthy food, such as milk and fruit, to primary school children to the admission of migrants and the promotion of gender ideology in schools.
The minister pointed out that this is not the first measure taken by Brussels that threatens food security. Last week, the European Commission’s draft EU budget was published, which is pro-Ukraine. It would take a significant amount of money from agricultural subsidies and send it to Ukraine. In addition, Brussels is opening the doors even wider to Ukrainian agricultural imports into the EU, which would ruin Hungarian farmers. This is compounded by the European Union-Mercosur trade agreement, which aims to allow agricultural products from South America to enter the EU.
“Brussels must wake up from its fever dream and represent the interests of European producers instead of Ukraine. The Hungarian government will use all means at its disposal to protect the livelihoods of Hungarian farmers and our daily bread,” emphasized the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.
