Hungarian President: Hungary is a good ally of the USA
Local residents in Békés County “highly await” the accession of neighbouring Romania to the EU’s borderless Schengen zone which Hungary supports, President Katalin Novák said in an interview published by local daily Bekes Megyei Hirlap on Saturday.
She paid a visit to the county in south-eastern Hungary which formed part of the president’s programme visiting every county to learn first-hand about local affairs.
In the interview, Novák said with Romania’s accession maintaining contact “between Hungarians on both sides of the border will be much easier, and economic cooperation could also be further boosted”. “Nurturing good relations with its neighbours is in Hungary’s fundamental interest, also because of the Hungarian communities living there,” she said.
In connection with this year’s US elections, Novák said that depending on who will enter the White House, “prospects may change as regards the war in Ukraine” and “as regards the intensity and quality of Hungarian-US relations as well”. The president called the United States an important ally for Hungary, adding that “Hungary is a good ally that fulfills its obligations”, and “expects respect and a readiness for mutual understanding” within a non-hierarchic alliance.

Speaking about Ukraine, Novák said the war had claimed several tens of thousands of lives with the number of Hungarian victims constantly increasing.
“More and more people started to agree with the position Hungary has represented since the beginning, namely that the only proper solution is to establish peace,” Novák said, adding that even the Ukrainian president has started to draw up a peace formula, with Hungary participating in the efforts.
Fidesz sends Novak out to put out these kinds of statements because they will never come out of Orban’s lips. The day the person in power meaning fat little man Viktor Orban pledges loyalty to NATO and says that he is a good ally of the United States is the day that any such statement will have any meaning. You can’t trust the fat little man anyways because he would stab anyone in the back. No one in Europe, no one in the NATO alliance will ever trust him. He has ruined relations for many years to come and relations with the rest of the EU and NATO will really only be repaired when Fidesz is not longer in office. Until then Hungary remains an outcast.
Larry helemaal mee eens maar het is ook goed dat er een Victor Orban is die de boel wakker houd en wakker schut dus je kunt hem niet alles i de schoenen schuiven.
Everyone wants peace … It depends on the terms. And let’s not underestimate the danger of appeasement. The wrong signal can happily bite us in the /// years or decades from now. Akin to Mr. Chamberlain’s fateful moves, pre WW2 (read up on the 1938 Munich Agreement, if you are interested)
