FM Szijjártó: We stand with President Trump
Hungary’s foreign minister in an interview to US TV channel Newsmax said: “We stand with President Trump; we cross fingers for him…”
Péter Szijjártó said in the video of the interview uploaded to his Facebook page on Wednesday that under Trump’s leadership, political relations between the United States and Hungary hit a peak, MTI reported.
The latest indictment against former US president, he said, had been politically motivated and Trump was being attacked by the liberal mainstream.
The same was largely true in Europe, too, he said. Strong conservative leaders who enjoyed the support of society were attacked by the liberal mainstream, Szijjártó added.
Meanwhile, on the topic of Sweden’s NATO accession, the minister said the government supported the ratification process and has submitted a related bill to parliament. The timing of the agenda depends on Fidesz MPs, who have a two-thirds majority, he added.
Szijjártó said Swedish politicians had “slandered” Hungary, accusing it of not being a democracy and of being a dictatorship. He said MPs had taken this as an insult and were not yet ready to make a decision on ratification. “When they’re ready, they will make the decision,” he said, adding however that the government was supportive of Sweden’s bid.
Asked about the Russian president’s recent comment about Hungary being an unfriendly nation, and whether this had come as a surprise, Szijjártó noted that Hungary is a member of both NATO and the European Union, and Russia considered all member states of both organisations as unfriendly countries.
The minister noted that as a neighboring country, Hungary was suffering as a result of the war in Ukraine. “It’s not only the Ukrainians who are suffering, Hungarians are suffering as well,” he said, adding that Hungary wanted this suffering to end. Hungary supports a “ceasefire, peace talks and sustainable peace”.
Put to him that Prime Minister Viktor Orban had declared that the Ukrainians were unable to win the war and only negotiations were a viable option, Szijjártó said it was certain that no resolution was possible on the battlefield. “The solution will come only around the negotiating table,” he said.
The minister warned about the possibility of an escalation of the war outside of Ukraine, which he called “a big threat to us” as a neighbouring country.
He said that Hungary had taken in more than one million refugees, and as a nation that “has already lost too many lives in this war, we ask the international community to finally start to concentrate on peace.”
Szijjártó said that had President Trump won the last presidential election, the war would not have broken out, noting the absence of any kind of Russian attack during Trump’s period in office. “We do look at his possible return to the White House” as the signal of hope for a peaceful future, he added.

So, today, Senator James E. Risch, a Trump friend and the ranking Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee, is stopping the USD 735 million US arms sale to Hungary for not contributing to Sweden’s membership of NATO. So Peter, where do you stand? With Trump and his gangsters, or with the Victor’s causes or both? You must be getting dizzy trying to spin in both directions. Newsmax is a tin foil news website, not the real thing, but then you already know that.
The US channel Newsmax is a right wing, fascist network supporting the traitorous, sex abusing, lying and bullying former president. Trump is the
guy when confronted states his defence as “everybody else is lying, all these women are liars, everything I did was perfect, it’s a witch hunt, it’s politically motivated, all these sensitive documents are mine….. so come on Trump is “the boy who cried wolf”…. Hungarian politicians would be well advised to stay clear of him…
The EU criticized Hungary’s Justice System. In Hungary, there is only one system of justice, and that justice system equally applies to all citizens.
In the US there are two systems of justice, one for democrats (they get off Scot free) and there is the system that applies to the Republicans. Think back, H. Clinton destroyed 33,000 E-mails, acid washed the hard drive, then used a hammer. The E-mails contained classified, top-secret materials. That is called obstruction of justice. President Biden removed classified materials when he served as a Vice President. Biden was not even entitled to remove the documents. Then, there was 18,000 documents, kept in a garage, where garage door was ajar, in a building near a Chinese establishment, etc.. Neither Cliton or Biden were charged.
When Mr. Orban and Mr. Szijjarto spoke in support of President Trump, they were expressing their opinion of an unjust American Justice System.
Mr. Trump said it best, himself:
“Nobody is above the law” … “I will enforce all laws concerning confidential information”

Also worth a watch re the administration of justice at 1h26

Of course – speaking about a number of people who fell foul of the Espionage Act and Mrs. Clinton, however we can see his passion regarding nobody should be above the law!
AGAIN: “Hungary has taken in more than one million refugees” … NO WE DID NOT.

We facilitated their leaving Ukraine. Less than 30’000 ended up staying. The rest … Moved on!
What else – “Peace” … Our Politicians are all about appeasement – not a beep as to how they would go about achieving a lasting peace. Just … “Peace!”. As a starting point, let’s reflect back to the Budapest Memorandum – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum – I’m sure the Ukrainians will be looking for much better guarantees, this time around.
Won’t bother with the Swedes. Everyone else wants them in, for good reason:

On childish tit for tat so popular with our Politicians … Consider that our air force leases Swedish fighter aircraft and imagine what damage Sweden could do if they decide to sit on some export permits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen – search for Hungary
PS – perhaps Mr. Szijjártó also wants to stand with Mr. Johnson?

Hungary can approve Sweden’s entry into NATO but Türkiye will never accept Sweden. Sweden betrayed Hungary and Turkiye over and over again. Sweden wants more power so it can dominate more countries. Sweden has no redeeming quality. They allowed the ruination of their country now they are eying other countries.
Hilarious! Thank you Mariavontheresa. That was by far the best post you have made to date. Beware the Swedes!
