BUDAPEST: Hungary launched Saturday an anti-EU campaign that asks households in a survey their advice on how to deal with Brussels policies that it says threaten Hungarians’ independence. Questionnaires titled “Let’s stop Brussels!” are being posted to households nationwide, a senior government official, Bence Tuzson, told a press conference to launch the drive. “Big decisions and struggles lie ahead of Hungary in the coming period, (Hungary) can only win those struggles if it feels the support of the country,” said Tuzson. Other questions in the survey ask citizens about international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that the government says support illegal immigration or “interfere” in Hungary’s internal affairs. In 2015, it also launched a ‘National Consultation’ campaign, asking households about “immigration and terrorism”.
