Hungary would like to revive a nuclear agreement with Iran
Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, is meeting his Iranian counterpart in New York on Tuesday to discuss ways to revive an earlier nuclear agreement.
According to a ministry statement, Szijjártó is also scheduled to have bilateral talks with Western European counterparts on the same issue. “Hungary has a clear stance on the matter. We don’t want the number of countries with nuclear weapons to grow. We think the International Atomic Energy Agency should supervise Iran’s so-called nuclear programme, according to the previous agreement,” he said.
“We are advocating for restoring the situation before the acts of war, and give the IAEA full access to informations on the Iranian nuclear programme so it can exercise full control. We continue to stand for diplomatic solutions… That would greatly contribute to world security,” Szijjártó said.
Mercosur-EU agreement
Meanwhile, Szijjártó said his meeting with his Argentinian counterpart “will be interesting because the free trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur states has been dragging on for long now.” The agreement has been drafted but several countries, including Hungary and France, have criticised it, he said. Szijjártó said Hungary wanted the agreement to be signed only if it provided guarantees protecting Hungarian farmers, agriculture and the food industry, he said.
Serbian, Czech meetings
Further, Szijjártó will also meet his Serbian counterpart. He said the meeting was especially important in view of “attempts in Europe to eliminate patriotic leaders by political, legal and even physical means — and it’s happening especially harshly” in Serbia, he added.
“The leader of the Czech patriotic party, a favourite to win the elections, was beaten at a rally. Slovakia’s patriotic prime minister was nearly killed. In Hungary, the Brussels bureaucracy is doing everything in its power to replace us with a puppet government. Austria’s patriotic party, after winning the election, was denied the opportunity to take up governance, and there are clearly foreign-directed violent demonstrations in Serbia to remove the patriotic president who enjoys the trust of the people,” he said.
“It does not paint a pretty picture of European democracy that the extreme liberal mainstream is trying to eliminate patriotic politicians enjoying the people’s trust.” Szijjártó is also scheduled to meet the foreign ministers of Guinea Bissau, Sudan and the Vatican.

Szijjarto is A LYING KREMLIN PUPPET who makes totally false statements about how a democratic system works which in this case is his statement about the Freedom Party “winning the election” yet not being allowed to form a government in Austria. You need a majority of seats to form a government and the FFO only has 57 of 183 seats in the Federal Council. None of the other parties would form a coalition government with these far-right extremists. The Austrian Government consists of a coalition of three parties with 110 of 183 seats (the Greens who have 16 seats and have nothing to do with the FFO sit in the opposition along with the FFO). Majority rules and don’t let Szijjarto fool you with his lying propaganda.
