Biden administration deeply concerned by Hungarian government institution
The United States and the Biden administration are deeply concerned by the Hungarian government’s implementation of the “Defense of National Sovereignty Act,” including this week’s draconian actions by the recently established “Sovereignty Protection Office” to target the operations of civil society and independent media organizations.
The Hungarian government’s attempt to harass, intimidate, and punish independent organizations runs counter to the principles of democratic governance rooted in the rule of law. This law places no limit on this entity’s ability to target the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its own citizens and puts at risk any country, business entity, or individual that chooses to engage with them. The United States will continue to advocate for the protection of civil society organizations and media freedom in the face of these anti-democratic measures”, the spokesman’s statement goes.
The Biden administration slammed the Sovereignty Protection Office many times
According to index.hu, the Sovereignty Protection Office examines two Hungarian organizations. One is Transparency International. The other is the Átlátszó media outlet, cooperating with Transparency International. The former regarded the establishment of the Sovereignty Protection Office as anti-constitutional and turned to the Constitutional Court. The office sent 62 questions and gave 30 days for answers.
US ambassador to Budapest, David Pressman, slammed the office multiple times. On 23 June, at a Pride picnic organised in Pressman’s residency, he compared the Sovereignty Protection Office to the Putin regime’s anti-democratic legislation.

Who is in charge of the US government and US policies?
LOL! Whatever, man. Biden doesn’t know what century it is, so Maria’s question is very pertinent: Who REALLY made this and makes other decisions for his regime?
Who cares, though. The U.S. is done. It’s over. If Trump gets in, the decline might be decelerated somewhat, perhaps even reversed in some aspects, but the writing is on the wall. The rot within America has set in way too deep to rectify. The only question is whether the whole thing implodes like the Roman Empire or the spiral is more gradual, such as with the Ottomans.
In any case, Hungary is right to pivot toward China. At least they’re only after resources and political support, not our kids (“gender”) and our very existence (“open borders”).
Steiner Michael – in your petrifying, through lack of academic – educational Knowledge or Fact, your dogmatic “tone” – your “style” of advocacy, on matters, in this case, the “The Collapse of Empires” – your thought process, influenced greatly, as you “journey on” being an ACTIVE “mouthing off” instrument, through your membership of Fidesz – support of the Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary, and witnessing it’s DEMISE, seeing it FACTUALLY collapsing impounding all around you.
Heartbreaking for you – but your muchly beloved “Commies” accepting the Olive Branche(s) handed out, as they continue to DO, by your “beloved” Demigod – Victor Mihaly. Orban – your Political Party – Fidesz, they MAY – Russia & China – pick up – it’s market price is VERY cheap after the SCUTTLED process, the DISTILLATION of Democracy in Hungary, it’s return, to Laws of Communistic Governance, ruled under a Dictatorship regime.
41 Cities – you claim you have lived in throughout your life. ?
I pity the BLINDLESS that you commentate on subject(s).
It’s either Black or White, with no “guts” in explaining nor painting the picture(s) that is “engulfed” in Nihility – nothingness other than WRONGFULNESS – that accompanies your commentaries.
If looking back over the History of Empires that have COLLAPSED – the one OUTSTANDING similarity is there GREED.
They rise they fall – forgetting friendships in the time of there conception evolution, there growing and development, there expansion process.
Fall of the Roman Empire besides there GREED – the want of greater lands/spaces of Europe, inclusive of Britain, through there GREED – they RUN out of MONEY – that saw there ability to Sustain, hold onto AFFORD – what they had “Taken” by aggression, lands of other country’s – that eventuated in CONTRIBUTING – being a major reason – that caused the Fall of the Roman Empire.
The waters still flow freely on down the Pontiac River, flowing on and through Washington DC – providing “glimmers” of HOPE, that this MASSIVE upheaval / disruption CHALLENGE in fact to Democracy in the United States of America is just a “hiccup” – that see’s in time, a return of the United States of America, being “Great Again” under fully accepting, that although ALL Political Parties have vastness of wrongfulness in there Beliefs – Political Ideas and Philosophy – Ideology – that DEMOCRACY remains -still is the BEST of a Bad Lot.
The Fall of the Austrian Hungarian Empire.
The Fall of the British Empire.
The Fall of the Third Reich.
The Fall of the Russian Empire.
Miniscule number of “other” Empires that throughout the course of History that have FALLEN.
Orban – the Fidesz Government of Hungary – are a GREED Government.
CLEAR pictures before our very EYES confirm this GREED that is carried out driven by – us the Party first – then second – the “scraps” left-overs to the citizens.
Orban, embracing practicing COMMUNISM in Hungary, we continue to bear witness in seeing FACTUALLY, that communism neither produces Dignity nor Prosperity and it removes takes away all POWER from the People that places gives it into the hands of a self-appointed class of there MANUFACTURING and Design called the ELITE.
Orban – the Fidesz Government – they HAVE learned from History, that we KNOW doesn’t LIE.
Orban – the Fidesz Government are in practice – enforcing on – acting out – being the PERSONIFICATION of reason(s) that have caused EMPIRES to Fall.
Orban – the Fidesz Party will Fall – through there INFLICTION on, there IMPOSING upon – in there ABUSE of No RESPECT to-wards or on the people of Hungary through there :
(1) – GREED.
(2) – Selfishness.
(3) – Exploitation.
The Orban – Fidesz Government, through the SCUTTLING of Hungary, that see’s them near on INSOLVENT – all in being part of a modern day – Fall of a Country, with the omission of the word empire, as THIS is FACTUALLY what “underneath” likened to the “infamous” 45th President former of the United States of America – Donald J. Trump – that WANT to personally name wise BUILD Empires.
Steiner Michael – you REMAIN an extremely FAILED individual in that in the CONDUCT of yourself – that just sits in a crowd of people, not a LEADER to example stand up out in front of a crowd, take up a “cause ” in battle, for WHAT you BELIEVE, Live & Practice.
We STILL wait for YOUR paper, the SAVING of Hungary.
Surely it won’t be titled – The New Empire of Hungary – it HAPPENS /
We wait, we have waited for 14 plus months to READ your Paper, of your PLANS in the Saving, the independent FUTURE – the stand alone SURVIVAL of Hungary not as a DEMOCRACY, not as a Member of the European Union nor of N.A.T.O. – of NO friendships nor relationships – with Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, with Global country’s Governed under DEMOCRACY.
We wait, rise front your “back” stall seat, come to the dais or podium – speak, lay out – present – explain elaborate to us, your SURVIVAL – ideas & philosophies – the SURVIVAL – being able to sustain it-self – Hungary – that needs inclusion on GROWTH, the increase WORTH of Hungary, for the betterment of all Hungarians firstly and secondarily – our FUTURE as a country.
Sustainability in not being a DEMOCRACY – Steiner Michael, we wait your paper.
for real
Sustainability in Not being Hungary a Democracy Do you feel better after all the nonsense you wrote? Who gave you ultimate wisdom?
There is no such thing as Biden Administration. If you by some chance watched the debate, President Biden is not capable of putting one coherent sentence together. His wife, Jill Biden had to lead him off the stage.
There is an administration in the US, however, it is not an elected body led by the President. No one really knows who is running things. All instruction to Hungarian hater Pressman should be null and void because it does not come from the legitimately elected President nor is the policy approved by legitimate President Biden.
Just to make your day, Mr. Steiner is perfectly correct, that makes you wrong.
