PM Orban Sends Message From Washington: Kyiv Wants Chaos in Hungary to Topple Pro-Peace Government

Hungarian diplomacy has concluded a historic day in Washington. While Hungary as a founding member attended the first meeting of the Board of Peace established by Donald Trump, Prime Minister Viktor Orban issued a serious warning: Ukraine is actively interfering in Hungarian domestic politics. He pointed out that Kyiv’s goal is to create chaos and drastically raise household utility prices in order to help the Tisza Party and a pro-war puppet government come to power. Donald Trump, however, made it clear that the Hungarian Prime Minister enjoys his full support.

Although the Board of Peace does not wish to replace the UN, it it will "supervise" it, as Donald Trump put, so the world organization finally functions properly. Edi Rama described it aptly, saying the Board of Peace may help shake the global body, which he called a "dying giant."

Trump: Viktor Orban Enjoys My Total Endorsement

The unshakable alliance forged between Hungary and the United States was one of the most important messages of the Washington meeting. In his opening speech Donald Trump welcomed the Hungarian Prime Minister in particular and sent a clear message to Hungary ahead of the elections.

We have Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, who enjoys my total endorsement. I think he's done an unbelievable job. Incredible job in immigration,

declared the U.S. President.

Trump praised the Hungarian Prime Minister's migration policy, contrasting it with what he described as the weakness of Western leaders.

But Prime Minister Viktor Orban has my total and complete endorsement,

he emphasized, adding that he is confident Viktor Orban will also perform well in the elections. The two leaders also held bilateral talks, where alongside economic cooperation a possible Trump visit to Budapest was discussed, although as Viktor Orban said both leaders’ schedules are currently quite full.

Hungary Not Isolated But a Pioneer

While most of Europe, still stuck in the psychosis of war, did not participate, Hungary's Prime Minister sat at the decision-making table of the Board of Peace alongside the world's leading powers, thoroughly refuting the voices that parroted the Hungarian government's international isolation.

Hungary is not right, but will be right,

Viktor Orban said, suggesting others will eventually join the pro-peace position just as it happened on migration.

That Hungary is a founding member of this new institution signals the success of Hungarian foreign policy and the strengthening of Hungary’s geopolitical role,

said Daniel Deak, senior analyst at the 21st Century Institute.

Tamas Magyarics, professor emeritus of ELTE, expressed a similar view, saying Hungary’s diplomatic room for maneuver has significantly expanded by sitting at one table with middle powers such as Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Argentina.

The Board of Peace is a body where very serious middle powers from Asia, America and Africa also play a role, and accordingly Hungary’s diplomatic and political maneuvering space increases,

the expert said.
