They cannot get bored: 9 June elections decide about war or peace
If the pro-war forces are allowed to keep their positions, then it must be expected that the war situation is here to stay for many years, the foreign minister told journalists ahead of the ruling parties’ election meeting in Vác, on the outskirts of Budapest, on Friday.
Europe is in a situation that is new to most Europeans, which is that there is a war on the continent, Péter Szijjártó said. This war is happening in Hungary’s neighbourhood and poses serious dangers for all of Europe, including Hungary, he said. The closer a country is to the war, the greater risk it faces of the war spreading further, he added.
Szijjártó warned that European political leaders were “suffering from war psychosis”, and that their “irresponsible remarks and decisions carry the risk of the war spreading further”.
“We’ve even heard some completely mad positions, not only about sending European troops to Ukraine, but also about installing nuclear weapons,” he said.
Szijjártó said that if just one more European country got involved in the war, it would trigger a threat of a world war, arguing that this other country would certainly be a NATO member, and a NATO country getting into a direct conflict with Russia “would obviously result in the outbreak of another world war”.
Deciding about war or peace
He said that on June 9, European citizens would get to decide whether they want war or peace. A responsible decision could prevent the threat of a world war and a nuclear war, the minister said, adding that Hungary was the only country that clearly stood up for peace, and a pro-peace decision by Hungarians could provide huge support against the pressure of war.
Hungary, he said, had been confronted over the last two years with every consequence of there being a war in a neighbouring country. Wartime inflation caused the country’s energy expenditures to rise by more than ten billion euros “because Brussels’s response to the war ended up being a complete failure”, Szijjártó said.
He said both the European Union and NATO were preparing for the possibility of war with a five-year fundraising and financing plan.
“They want to pour tens of billions of euros into the war,” he added.
Stopping this requires sending pro-peace politicians to the European Parliament, Szijjártó said, adding that ruling Fidesz was the only one in Hungary that represented the cause of peace, while the left was awaiting “pro-war votes”.

Well, as long putin is attacking orger countries, we will have to hear this speech about war and peace of Hungarians politicians. If Hungary is a good business partner of Russia, why they are not pushing to Puton to stop the war as wel?.
One of Ukraine’s ministers recently purchased a fancy S.U.V. worth more than a half a million dollars. Give me a break.
Enough is enough!
Our Politicians appear to be dedicating themselves to a policy of appeasement. Didn´t work so well last time:

Apart from supporting Ukraine in their struggle, a strong military deterrent is pivotal. Especially since Europe (and perhaps even NATO) cannot be sure that, in the case Mr. Trump gets reelected (the prospect of which gets our Politicians salivating), we can count on the USA to come to our aid if Mr. Szijjártó´s assessment of Mr. Putin´s territorial ambitions is wrong. And he would stop, right. Not as if he has committed and put his entire nation on a war footing.
There’s no shortage of mud slinging Fidesz propaganda billboards on the way into Budapest from the airport. That’s where your tax money goes in this country. Try to find one single billboard anywhere in this country that puts down dickhead Orban.
When Fidesz or other russian servants talk about ‘peace’ they mean ‘Ukrainian surrender followed by mass executions’
Why do Hungarians want russians to kill millions of Ukrainians?
Re: Steiner post. Beware of misinformation that is constantly put out by the Kremlin to undermine support for Ukraine, the EU, the US, etc. In Hungary Fidesz has gone so far as to have the media put out a story about Peter Magyar’s unisex sunglasses. Those sunglasses are now being auctioned and the funds will go to a charity to help protect children from abuse. Magyar is getting sunglasses donated to him wherever he goes.
