Hungary not invited to President Biden’s democracy summit
Two NATO Member Countries are not invited to the major democracy summit organised by American President Joe Biden. Hungary and Turkey are “dismantling” their democracies according to the US president.
Neither Hungary nor Turkey will attend next week’s Democracy Summit, which the United States is hosting at the end of March, Foreign Policy reports. According to Foreign Policy, the Biden administration invites around 120 countries to join its Summit for Democracy next week.
However, three U.S. officials confirmed that the lack of invitations for the two countries reflects mounting concerns about the degree of democratic backsliding in Turkey and Hungary.
Still an important ally in the NATO
At the same time, “Washington is relying on both countries to support the West’s strategy against Russia as the war in Ukraine rages on”. NATO needs Hungary’s and Turkey’s approval for Finland’s and Sweden’s bids to join NATO as full-fledged allies.
As we have previously written, Hungary started to use the Nordic expansion of NATO as a bargaining tactic in the Hungarian government’s debate the European Commission over the EU’s rule of law concerns and withheld funds.
Hungary wasn’t invited to the 2021 Democracy Summit either. As Telex pointed out, back then, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said that “we don’t need anyone to judge the state of Hungarian democracy as if it were a graduation exam”.
An administration official refutes this stand, saying that their goal is to establish a “counterweight” to the rising autocracies and develop relations between democratic countries.
“The United States is not interested in this event being seen as an all-encompassing judgment on the strength of another country’s democracy. That’s not the intention,” one senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told SitRep.
“When it comes to both Turkey and Hungary, we are committed to further strengthening our relations with both countries. They’re both important NATO allies, and we’re working together on many issues of mutual interest,” the official added.
In his recent state-of-the-nation address, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán outright called the Biden administration an “opponent” of the Hungarian governing party Fidesz.

It, literally STUFFED the USA – Hungarian relationship.
Orban – in the 13 years he has been in POWER, has just kept niggling away at the USA.
Orban “sucked” into the DOGMA – of the disgraced former President of the USA – Donald J. Trump, thinking that he Orban could take a RIDE on the Trump train and NEVER be disgraced nor a loser.
How the thought of supposed MIGHTY – a Friend in very close form, in Donald J. Trump, and Orban – on the “Cusp” of – a FALLEN descending into a cataclysmic disgraced position of a Human being.
Hungary we continue to SHAMED our PROUD brand name being DESTROYED by the “wacko” political ideas and philosophy of Victor Orban, that grows in seeing that he is a DOOMED Political figure in Europe and the Wider World.
Hungary – what will be left to SALVAGE.
It appears that for the Biden Administration neither Hungary or Turkey are “important” or “allies.”
In USA, we see:
– how the US gov colluded with big tech to violate the first amendment gratuitously;
– .gov falsely imprisoned many J6 protestors and denied them due process;
– .gov let cities burn, gov properties set aflame, and people be murdered summer of 2020;
– White House attacked and arsonists and anarchists ruled Pennsylvania Ave with Trump in underground bunker with Dem Party and deep state cheering rioters on;
– meanwhile, peaceful protestors in front of abortion clinics are arrested by swat teams in their homes;
– concerned parents who speak up at school board meetings are labeled domestic terrorists and put on FBI watch lists;
– deep state maliciously prosecuted Trump on trumped up charges and lies;
– phony impeachments based on lies;
– deep state led a slow motion coup based on lies;
– when coup failed, rigged an election with 30+% of registered democrats saying Biden did not win legitimately.
….
AND THESE CLOWNS WANT TO PRETEND THEY CAN LEAD A “democracy summit”
…..
AND THESE CLOWNS THINK THEY CAN EXCLUDE HUNGARY?!
… LOL at USA deep state illegitimacy. It’s beyond hypocrisy. It’s illegitimacy.
Oh no, that’s too bad.
I guess Hungary should fling open its borders to millions of illegal aliens, erase its history and become a post-national McStatelet, fully implement eco-tyranny, meekly accept economic collapse, and slide into social degeneracy. Then America–that beacon of democracy that bombs you into freedom–would invite Hungary to its precious little summit.
Veni Son – says it all except the biggest money behind the Biden regime is Soros and his NGOs along with destroying the justice system in the US.
I wonder who is funding the opposition in Hungary that we are told can’t get enough media coverage.
Did Hungary wanted to be invited to anything sponsored by the Biden Administration? The answer is probably not. Internal politics should be the prerogative of a sovereign country. Foreign policy should always favor the home country.
