From the very first day of the Biden administration, the same ideological pressure that the Orban government experienced during Barack Obama's presidency is perceptible, simply because the government pursues national interests, Rajmund Fekete said. In an press interview in January, Ambassador David Pressman said that the US has the instruments to exert influence on Viktor Orban.
Sending this kind of message to the prime minister of a sovereign country through the world's largest economic paper is unusual and improper, to say the least. It also shows that the ambassador is not exactly working to build relations between the two countries, but to drive a wedge between them.
No specific information was given on who the delegation will meet or what their program will be. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said he was not aware of the senators having any plans to meet anyone from Hungary’s government sector, noting that their counterparts were the Hungarian members of parliament.
This is not the first attempt to interfere in Hungary's domestic affairs. Take for instance the US ambassador accusing Hungary of anti-Semitism or undermining NATO's interests. However, the most serious interference took place when the US Action for Democracy supported the parliamentary election campaign of the Hungarian Left to the tune of more than four billion Hungarian forints, the director recalled.
It is no secret either that Viktor Orban supports Donald Trump in the US presidential elections coming up in November, which is a torn in the side of the current Democratic administration.
The current US administration is constantly seeking to put political pressure on Hungary over any decision that is a thorn in the side of the United States: be it the child protection law or the pro-peace stance on the Russia-Ukraine war,
Rajmund Fekete noted.
