Hungarian FM Szijjártó: the EU would bring migrants to Hungary

Recently leaked documents confirm that Brussels interferes in every Hungarian election, and now Hungary can expect even more aggressive actions than ever before, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on X on Wednesday.

FM Szijjártó: European Commission official worked to oust PM Orbán

The ministry said in a statement that Szijjártó was responding in his latest post to leaked documents showing that Márton Benedek, a senior European Commission official, had been secretly working to coordinate an opposition movement against the Hungarian government as early as 2019.

“Well, that’s how it goes! Brussels wants governments that always say yes — yes to war, migration, and gender,” Szijjártó said according to the Hungarian News Agency.

“Hungary’s sovereign national government, however, says no to Brussels: we say no to war, migration, and gender,” he added.

Brussels wants to bring migrants here

Szijjártó said “for many years now, Brussels has been trying to push us out of the way. They interfere in every single election, and now we can expect even more aggressive actions than ever before, because the stakes have never been higher: they want to drag us into war, and they want to bring migrants here”.

“They know perfectly well that only a Brussels puppet government would say yes to all of this,” he added.

Political commentator Mario Nawfal said in a recent X post that, according to leaked documents, Benedek had been quietly working since 2019 to organise and coordinate the opposition against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

“Not metaphorical resistance. Actual structure. NGOs, unions, funding vehicles, election timelines. The whole starter kit,” Nawfal said.

Péter Magyar got Western “media love”

“The guy, Márton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government,” he added.

“The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn’t disappear. It just waited,” Nawfal said.

“Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls,” he added

“The EU doesn’t just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won’t comply,” he said.
