Hungarians reject US interference in domestic affairs
Fully 76 percent of Hungarians reject US interference in Hungarian domestic affairs, according to a survey published by the Szazadveg Foundation on Friday.
The US embassy recently tweeted a video depicting pro-government Hungarian politicians and pundits in a bad light, Századvég said, adding that US Ambassador David Pressman also conducted “confidential talks” with two justices of the National Judicial Council.
Századvég conducted an opinion poll of 1,000 Hungarians in November. Fully 76 percent of respondents said the US should respect diplomatic norms rather than interfering in the country’s domestic affairs, the think-tank said. Some 18 percent said the active role of the US and criticism of Hungarian domestic affairs, when necessary, was “reasonable”. Fully 65 percent of respondents disagreed with the US embassy expressing its opinion of Hungarian domestic issues in public, while 31 percent approved, Századvég said.

Hungary doesn’t need the Americans – we have the Russians! This is what our dear V4 partners have concluded:
https://rtl.hu/kulfold/2022/11/17/energia-politika-cseh-v4-bojkott
„ … the Hungarian government has a pro-Russian policy … ” – and that’s why they’ve cancelled the next V4 meeting.
This signal to our Politicians could not be clearer. Or to our population.
Norbert must despise the country and its people. He is probably happy to ask how high I should jump when the EU or a large western nation order. From your comments it is clear that the FIDESZ Government cannot do anything of value. A government first job is to protect its people and ensure that their needs are met. Norbert, you must admit that Russia did not break oil/gas contracts, helps to build Paks 2, keeps supplying its energy need in spite of Hungary’s support of the EU’s requested sanctions. Hungary was right all along; sanctions have not slowed the war. V4 members and Austria understands that they may not agree on every policy.
And on that note, (just as one example), those Germans who did not agree with Hitler, must have also despised Germany and it’s people. Nicht wahr?
As for DNH, can you give it a rest already, just what the fruit do some people think Ambassodor Pressman and those judges were talking about, a coup d’état?
Ps. There is something seriously wrong in a supposedly democratic country where another country’s ambassador can’t even talk to justices of the court. Are they in effect muzzled by the Government?
