Hungary FM: Today the Fiercest Obstructors of Peace in Ukraine Are European Politicians

Today the fiercest obstructors of peace in Ukraine are European politicians, who are trying to prolong the war in order to avoid accountability for their gravely misguided earlier decisions, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Wednesday in Budapest.

The minister highlighted that the government is under enormous pressure to change its position. “And this is where the statements of the president of the European Commission and the leader of the largest European party family, the European People’s Party, come into play... when they say that PM Viktor Orban represents the past, while Peter Magyar represents the future,” he underlined.

“They want Peter Magyar to be prime minister, because they know perfectly well that if they can seat their own puppet in Budapest, then Ukraine can be brought straight into the European Union, the migration pact can be enacted, illegal migrants can be distributed, the child protection law can be rescinded and, on top of that, we'd have another domestic tragedy, because the thirteenth-month pension, the housing support scheme, and the youth tax allowances could all be forgotten as well,” he listed.

Finally, contrary to the recent weeks' “hysteria,” it is not Russia that is interfering in Hungary’s elections, but Brussels, the European Commission, and the European People’s Party, Mr. Szijjarto argued.

– “You don’t need to be a Russian intelligence officer — or any kind of intelligence officer, for that matter — you just need to watch the European Parliament broadcasts and listen to the president of the European People’s Party and the president of the European Commission, who have, in their own words, expressed that they want Peter Magyar to be Hungary’s next prime minister,” he concluded.
