Hungary FM: Another Tisza Stunt Has Collapsed Nicely Today

In a video posted on his social media page, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto reacted to the case of the Tisza-linked IT specialist who exposed himself. "Yet another attempt has failed, another one organized by Ukrainian intelligence services and aimed at interfering in Hungary’s elections, he emphasized in his video.

Peter Szijjarto also underlined that this cannot be allowed, because it is an attack against Hungary’s sovereignty. “That poor police officer thought he would become a hero, but in reality, he simply had no knowledge of a completely appropriate and fully justified counterintelligence operation,” he said.

The Constitutional Protection Office did its job, as its duty is to protect Hungary’s sovereignty. The Ukrainians trained a spy, and the Hungarian authorities acted against it. And Hungary must protect its sovereignty, because Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainians are doing everything they can to ensure that the Tisza Party wins the election, so that Zelensky could effectively form a government in Hungary. A government that would drag Hungary into the war, send Hungarians’ money to Ukraine, and allow Ukraine to enter the European Union together with its war—but we will not allow this,

the foreign minister stated.

We will win the election. We will not allow Zelensky to turn Hungary into an operation zone for intelligence services, no matter what kind of communication stunts the Tisza Party comes up with. This was a nice attempt, but it failed, and that’s the situation,

the minister concluded in his video.
