Hungary’s Viktor Orban makes wild claim EU plotted to oust Polish government - The prime minister has also compared the European Union to the Soviet Union

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed in a speech on Wednesday that the European Union seeks to topple his government and install a puppet regime in the Central European country, an escalation of open hostility toward the bloc by the member considered to have the warmest ties with Russia.

Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban alleged on Wednesday that the European Union executive was trying to overthrow his government and impose a "puppet" administration on Budapest, likening his protest to the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising.
