Orbán’s political director: Hungary has many friends in the USA

Hungary “has many friends” in the United States, Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s political director, said in an interview to public radio on Sunday, in connection with Viktor Orbán’s meeting with Donald Trump in the former US president’s residence Mar-a-Lago, in Florida.

He said it was an honour for the Hungarian delegation to be hosted by the Republican Party’s presidential candidate in his own home. Peace had endured in many parts of the world while Trump was president, including in the Middle East and Ukraine, he said. Hungary wants a ceasefire and peace talks, the political director said, adding that President Biden’s “liberal US administration thinks differently”.

He added that the world and Europe would be best served if Trump returned to the White House and then established peace. US-Russia talks could end the war with the involvement of Europe and the Ukrainians as well as possible third parties. “But America’s stance on the matter is decisive,” he said.

Trump, he said, had warned about the mounting danger of nuclear confrontation, insisting that the US should try to do “something radically different”. Orbán said a ceasefire would open up an opportunity to resolve the security relationship between the West, NATO and Russia in the long run. While not easy, “the sooner we start, the more lives we can save”, he said.

Hungary is model for many Republicans

The political director said the Biden administration had shown Hungary “ideological hostility”, even though Hungary was a good NATO ally which spent well above 2 percent of GDP on defence policy and contributed to numerous alliance missions. He insisted that “circles connected to the Democrats finance the Hungarian left”, adding that Biden’s administration was on the wrong side of the Hungarian government and Hungarian people’s opinion.

Many Republicans, on the other hand, saw Hungary as a model and an important European ally, he said. Europe, Orbán said, should be an interlocutor to both the current and future leaders of the United States. Western politicians, encouraged by Donald Trump’s stance, were increasingly speaking in favour of peace, and this was in the interest of all Hungarians, he said.

  1. Lets analyze the Hungarian model;

    Family policy that doesn’t work (every year there are less and less hungarians)

    Immigration policies that allows thousands of immigrants to replace Hungarian workers in factories, despite government saying it doesn’t want even guest workers.

    Allowing china police to patrol in a “sovereign” country.

    Pardoning a pedophile helper.

    And of course, being a business partner of the country that bullies its neighbors any time he wants.

    Is that the model that americans want?

    Have they lost their mind?

  2. BUT – and History never Lies, and the way Victor Mihaly Orban leads Hungary wrongfully at this time, will end in another cataclysmic disaster, through Hungary’s CHOICE of relationships/friendship’s.
    History never lies, and we as a country, our “Curriculum Vitae” – post 1918 exampled, the end of the First World War, our choice of “getting into bed” with country’s has been nothing but a MASSIVE Disaster.
    Orban leads us on – to yet another FAILED interconnection.

  3. Work towards a “Munich Agreement” … “Peace for our time”? Or would appeasement only feed the appetite of an aggressor such as Mr. Putin?

    Imagine, for a moment, what would have happened if the United States would have stayed out of the First, or the Second World War. Perhaps reading up a bit on some old “America First” is useful:

    I do take issue with the “end justifies the means” mentality of our Politicians. “Pro Families!” – so, it is an honour to meet with a gentleman who is on his third wife, on the record for paying off porn stars, sexually harassing women (“if you´re famous – you can grab them by the ////”), and proudly proclaiming his credentials to taking an axe to women’s reproductive rights?

  4. Even Hitler and Stalin could find friends in the US and other countries. Are are always some idiots willing to ally with anti-democratic extremism.
