Former PM Gyurcsány accuses PM, goverment of ‘betrayal’
The leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), Ferenc Gyurcsány, has accused the prime minister and his government of committing a “historical, political and moral betrayal” of Hungary and its people in recent years.
At a press conference in Budapest on Tuesday, former PM Gyurcsány said Viktor Orbán had sided with China, having argued “for years” for a response to a rising China. Orbán’s stated neutrality in the struggle between the West and China was in fact pro-China and a “historical betrayal”, given Hungary traditionally belonged to “a very clear circle of civilisations”.
“Europe and the West have extremely strong positions in this struggle,” Gyurcsány said. Based on 2023 figures, the US and Europe accounted for 44 percent of the world economy, while China only accounted for 19 percent; around half of global military spending was linked to NATO, while only 14 percent came from China, he added.
The DK leader spoke of a “historic betrayal” when Orbán “wants to put Hungary on China’s side”. “This is not good for Hungary, it is a historical curse for Hungary.”

Meanwhile, Gyurcsány called Orbán’s change of “Russian policy” in 2009 “incomprehensible”, having “turned from being one of Hungary’s most anti-Russian politicians to one of Hungary’s most pro-Russian politicians after fifteen minutes of negotiations with Putin.” “In those fifteen minutes, the Hungarian prime minister was blackmailed by Putin” with the stakes either tied up with state security or financial considerations, Gyurcsány said.
He added that recent comments by Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s political director, suggesting that Hungary would “surrender to Russia” was “not something he let slip” but “a confession of the policy represented by Viktor Orbán”.

This is the best joke of the year. Gyurcsany, who sold the country to globalists and ceded sovereignty to Brussels’ dictators has the nerve to talk about the government’s betrayal of the country. Hungary has been betrayed before but not as overtly as by Gyurcsany.

I agree. Gyurcsányi would side against his own country whenever possible in the EU parliament, so he has no business accusing Orbán of betrayal. If G really cared about the country he would withdraw from public life completely, as he is the biggest block to the opposition getting anywhere against Fidesz. And he should take Klárika with him, as nobody is convinced that she is anything but her husband’s puppet.
