President of Hungary: Sweden makes unacceptable statements about Hungary
Change language:
NATO must remain united and be strengthened, but issues over the alliance’s expansion must be debated, President Katalin Novák said on Turkish state television late on Monday.
In response to a question concerning the NATO accession of Finland and Sweden, she said in an interview to the English-language news programme One on One on TRT World: “In these demanding times we have to stay united and we also have to show our strength.”
NATO is an important alliance which should be strengthened, she added.
Commenting on NATO accession, she said: “We should have debates about these decisions; we should really consider the pros and cons.”
Novák said that both the Hungarian parliament and Turkey had already decided on Finland’s NATO accession, but concerning Sweden, were tough debates taking place in the Hungarian parliament.
“From Sweden’s high representatives there were some unacceptable statements about Hungary,” she said. “They were [baseless], biased statements about Hungary,” she added.

Ah. On Sweden, we are now professing solidarity with Turkiye??? To be clear: Finland also made “statements” regarding Hungary. And acted on them when they had the Presidency of the EU Council in 2019 (they kicked off the withholding of the Hungary destined funds).
Then regarding “debates” in Parliament. Our Politicians don’t debate a lot. We have had Rule by Decree since COVID. Very addictive. Was supposed to be a temporary measure – but there you go.
Lastly and I hate to repeat myself – we never had an Energy Plan B , and our dependence and the risk it posed was pointed out, numerous times (by the European Union).
Good gosh, what a mess… N.A.T.O. is a joke. The E.U. is an even bigger joke; it’s just a matter of time before it goes the way of Yugoslavia or, hopefully, Czechoslovakia. Western Europe is on its knees and in a death spiral. Turkey–sorry, “Türkiye”–is an even more unreliable “partner” than Russia ever was. Where does Hungary turn?!?
“Where does Hungary turn?!?”: Not to worry, we always have Bibi, then we could try Bashar al-Assad, Nicolás Maduro, or better still,our PM’s idol from “The Apprentice”, Donald Trump. 🙂 😀
Micheal the troll, once again a post full of lies and distortions. Say hello to your heros Putin and Trump!
Down from the “head to the houlders”, just a bunch of kindegarten wusses, crying because
one of the others may have called them names.
(HU politicians) Grow up, it’s in our country’s (HU) interest to have Sweden in NATO.
