The Biden administration is not a friend of Hungary. Recently, they terminated certain tax regulations, stopped some arms shipments and they are trying to convince some American companies to stop doing business with Hungary. How is that for an “Ally”?
The Biden crime family can be very helpful if the price is right. Just gave 25M$ to so called democray NGOs along with George Soros. The Biden crime families biggest donor is George Soros. You can’t make this stuff up.
Why would anyone, other than the CCP, want to do business in Hungary anymore. You can’t trust the government. If someone in Fidesz wants your business, they will low-ball you for it. If you don’t accept their offer, they will bully you until you leave the country or sell. Hungary is losing the confidence of partners around the world because of the Hungarian Lukashenko.
I agree with Zoli.
You agree with Zoli? Well, of course you do…..
