Minister revealed which country’s NATO accession Hungary would support
Change language:
NATO has reaffirmed its open door policy, but integration is open only to countries that would not risk the alliance’s security, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Bucharest on Wednesday.
In a “telling” gesture, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia and Moldova were invited to the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting, Szijjártó said. At the same time, countries joining the alliance should “strengthen” member states’ security rather than “put it at risk”, he said. Szijjártó said he had met his Finnish and Swedish counterparts, and assured them of Hungary’s support for their countries’ NATO integration. The government has already submitted the draft ratificaion of their application to parliament, which, however, is “currently busy with legislation required by the European Commission”, he said, referring to legislation being passed to comply with EU requirements for Hungary to access EU funding.
Sweden and Finland’s NATO accession is expected to be tabled early next year, he said. The meeting mainly focused on global effects of the war in Ukraine, including economic recession, growing terrorism threats and the energy crisis, he said. Regarding ties with China, Szijjártó warned against NATO becoming an “anti-China bloc” and against blocking economic cooperation.
Szijjarto is of course lying through the teeth as the usual fidesz tactics.. The hungarian government is trying to blackmail the EU into releasing the billions of Euros they think they are entitled to, in exchange for a positive vote to have Finland and Sweden becoming NATO members. .
I wonder how long it will take until Hungary is thrown out of the EU and NATO
