Hungarian FM slams EU for ‘globalising war fallout’
Change language:
The European Union’s response to the war in Ukraine has globalised the fallout from the war rather than isolating its effects, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told a meeting of the Organization of Turkic States’ economy and trade ministers in Istanbul on Thursday.
The EU has botched its response to the war, “and we can only hope that the conflict itself doesn’t become global,” he said.
Bad decisions have also hurt the cooperation between East and West, Szijjártó said. Meanwhile, the sanctions have proved to be a “total failure” which also weakened the EU’s competitiveness, he said.
“This raises the value of our observer status in the OTS, and of our cooperation with its member states,” he said.
Cooperation between the East and West is key to improving Europe’s competitiveness, and the chances for that are dwindling,” he said.
The OTS is an important “bridge” between the East and West, and its member states will become key to ensuring transport routes now that some of the traditional supply lines have become impossible, he said.
Hungary under Fidesz is well suited to leave the EU and join the Organization Of Turkic States instead. Good luck.
Says much about the Fidesz ageing voter constituency turning a blind eye to Hungary’s renewed alliances in former Soviet Union, pining for Kadarism and communist policies, while attacking all things west &/or liberal; how many Fidesz elites will continue to support Russian policies over the EU etc.?
