Minister: EU irresponsible to finance a frozen conflict in Ukraine
Change language:
The government will make good on its promise of bringing inflation down into the single digits by the end of the year; it could happen as early as October or November, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said at the 32nd “Tusványos” summer university course at Baile Tusnad (Tusnádfürdő), in central Romania, on Thursday.
Speaking about next year’s European Parliament elections, Gulyás said that, if not a miracle, a shift to the right can be expected, which “perhaps makes it possible to discuss reasonable proposals”. He said the majority of MEPs cannot forgive Hungarian voters for “failing to find what they consider to be the right answer” every four years and therefore try to take revenge on them. On the matter of the war, Gulyás called for peace negotiations as soon as possible, adding that he believed the outcome of the war was closely related to next year’s US presidential elections.
Russia’s modus operandi is to invade, take a slice of territory and then freeze the conflict, after which it “reloads” and attacks again in the future to take even more territory from its’ victim. The Russians froze the conflict in Ukraine that they initiated in 2014 and came back eight years later for more. Gulyas and Fidesz are acting as Russia’s enablers to do the same again. Russia has broken every ceasefire and security guarantee it has signed regarding Ukraine beginning with the Budapest Memorandum which was supposed to guarantee Ukraine’s borders. Orban wants to be the 21st century Neville Chamberlain bringing about “peace in our time” with a ruthless dictator who is guaranteed to dishonour yet another agreement. If Russia is not defeated and Ukraine is not brought into NATO it will attack Ukraine again in future and has high probability to attack Moldova and the Baltic States. We will achieve peace through strength and deterrence and not through snivelling weakness which Fidesz wants for us. Russia is much weaker than the image it and Fidesz projects for it and wants a stronger West to lay down in a corner and give up. No way.
