“Hungary’s peace mission is causing huge frustration across Europe,” Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in an interview published by the Swiss weekly Weltwoche on Wednesday.
Europe’s politicians are “jealous” of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, since “it has become very clear that our prime minister is the only one in Europe that can reach such players of global politics and security” as the presidents of Russia, China, Türkiye, or former US president Donald Trump, Szijjártó said.

“European politicians are also frustrated because they are terrified … of it becoming obvious to everybody that they have not only pursued an ill-advised and unsuccessful strategy in terms of the war, but that strategy has also caused huge damage to Europe,” he said.
Leaders of the EU “have made it clear that Hungary is not authorised to represent the EU in those talks”, Szijjártó said, but stressed that Orban “did not speak in the name of the EU … obviously, we are fully aware that the rotating presidency has nothing to do with a diplomatic representation of the EU”.
Orban made his foreign visits “in his own role, because the European Union is not currently considered an important player in world politics”, the minister said. Orban, on the other hand, is “one of the prime ministers having served the longest time in his post in Europe, he has broad credibility in the world, and he is revered for his vision of the future and for the courage to promote that vision”, Szijjártó added.
Hungarian foreign minister waiting for Trump
Concerning a decision by Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign policy chief, to move a planned informal meeting of EU foreign and defence ministers from Budapest to Brussels, Szijjártó said it was “childish revenge”, adding that “ministers of 13 EU members including the largest countries” had supported that the meeting should be held in Budapest.
Concerning the war in Ukraine, Szijjártó said Russia was “gaining more ground by the day” and “it is not a pressing issue for them to find any solution”. “Ukraine is asking for more and more support … they are getting it because the US has a Democrat administration and … we cannot expect either of the belligerents to come up with a solution, which means that the solution must come from the outside,” he said. “There are three actors: the US, China, and still, Europe … but Europe is lagging behind the US, copying the American strategy and acting in this sense as an assistant to the US, without a voice of its own … while China is on the side of peace,” he said, noting the peace plan the Chinese and Brazilian foreign ministers had tabled. “The incumbent US government is obviously pro-war; if there is a change [in the US], at least two out of the three great powers will support peace and that could redraw the picture completely,” Szijjártó said. Trump’s return to power could “lend new momentum” to those changes, Szijjártó insisted.

What would the main course be, if the NAMED by the Foreign Minister and of Trade for Hungary – Peter Szijjarto, all joined for Dinner ?
Image – Szijjarto, enters the opulent setting of the dining room, dressed in the dress attire “afforded” a Maitre d’ – silver tray, all the “bells and whistles” – laid out on the “aged” dining table.
On the Silver “serving” tray he carries, hands “gloved” in White, the “starters” of there dinner – who would be the first served ???
Oh Peter, your growing reputation as a “Gofer” firstly of course to your Hungarian Prime Minister – V. M. Orban, but to ALL seated at the dining table you serve, through your “un-equivocal” loyalty and respect, to Orban, that FEEDS you – that you digest every mouth full he SERVES you, – his Political Ideas and Philosophy’s – Ideology, his Dogma,
The “gofer” Maitre d’ – of all seated, your serving out – dishing out- at there disposal through your DEVOTION, to V. M. Orban – what GLOBALLY it is KNOWN the “diners” – there “visions” of the Global World of the Future, after they complete THERE missions – call them ” Red Print Plans” – to CRUSH democracy.
Jealous – interesting word choice of Szijjarto.
What a “Pandoras Box” again he opens.
My opinion, is that Szijjarto’s – his “Demigod” – in the past, and he continues on, as the current President of the European Union – V. M. Orban – there is NOT jealously afforded him, through the European Union Membership, nor Great Britain & Northern Ireland – the United States of America – the Global country’s that are GOVERNED under DEMOCRACY, but that Orban – is Despised, a DEEP repugnance – to HIM.
Hee hee… dumb Peter at it again!
If Orban is interested in peace, when is he going to Israel?
Wonder why Europeans and Brussels support a wife abuser, someone will explain. All I can think is Europeans do not care about their daughters’ future.
P.M. Orban has every right to want to establish peace on its own border. Borrel is incompetent, he has not made any effort to establish peace in Ukraine. Borrel just follows globalists armament manufacturers’ mandate and abets borrowing more and more money for Ukraine. The idiots in Brussels do not realize that the higher the EU debt, the more their power and influence decreases. Borrel and other Brussels bureaucrats do not even realize the damage they cause.
Yes, there is jealousy of Orban because he is free from globalists’ influence.
The Real Person!

I red the headline while eating ….and almost chocked :)))) OMG – Hungary lives in an Orwell`s world where Orban is a king :))) I must say i feel a bit sorry for the normal Hungarias (if there are left any at all). A bit. Why a bit? Becase only you can change your contry rulers like we did in Poland in 2023 – ( fcuk Kaczyski, fcuk PIS – the nazi party). I really do not undertan HOW CAN YOU ALLOW all that shit that Orban does ?? Did you already forget 1956 ?? Your grand fathers who died under russkies tanks are spinning in their coffins right now. What have you done with so great country ?
