Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, referring to press reports and communications between the Ukrainian Foreign Minister and Kyiv’s ambassador in Budapest, accused members of the Hungarian opposition of being in constant contact with representatives of the Ukrainian Government.
The Hungarian opposition also promised to send weapons to Ukraine and vote in favour of sanctions on Russian oil and gas deliveries to Hungary and Europe if they won Sunday’s ballot, the minister said in a Facebook video after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
“The press reports are true,”
he added. Also, Szijjártó said the Ukrainian Foreign Minister had called Ukraine’s ambassador to Hungary to “discuss options on how to influence the results of the Hungarian elections”.
The minister insisted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s international speeches in which
he “constantly attacks Hungary and its government for refusing to send weapons to Ukraine or vote for sanctions endangering our energy supplies” also corroborated that such talks had taken place.

He said that whereas Zelenskiy’s requests were “understandable”, as it was in Ukraine’s interest to recruit as many European countries as possible to ship weapons there and vote for sanctions on Russian crude oil and gas, they were diametrically opposed to Hungary’s interests.
Hungarian politicians must represent Hungary’s interest and “stay out of this war”, Szijjártó said. “To that end, we must avoid being provoked, dragged into or involved in this war,” he said. The Hungarian Government must ensure that “Hungarians are not put in harm’s way and that the country’s economy is not put in danger of grinding to a halt.” “As long as we govern, these decisions will remain in place,” he said.
At the general election on 3rd April, Hungarians will decide between “peace and security or being dragged into the war,” he said.

With only four days it would appear the right are unsurprisingly resorting to blackmail to win!! If you want war vote opposition, peace, vote Fidesz. Seems gloves are off now.
Now, for the manipulative or maybe just plain stupid Fidesz government. Doesn’t matter who’s in power, Hungary will not go to war as we’re part of NATO, therefore there’s no being “dragged” into anything.
Fidesz must be pretty worried if they keep making such outrageous claims about the opposition. Childish and pathetic. Fidesz wants to decide which side of the fence they’re on, they’re falling out of favour with a few countries now. Imagine they’ve moved monies to offshore accounts just in case……….
Fidesz stop saying meaningless things and spam us with your video, propaganda everywhere on internet, tv, streets: they (opposition) are bad, ugly, csúnya and we (Fidesz) are the best. By the way, the peace flag is a rainbow and few months ago you were totally against rainbows….looking forward to see a change to democracy from 4th of April 2022.
Fidesz – are they IMPLODING ???
Panic Stations APPEAR to have set in.
The Russian War against the Ukraine – “icing on the cake” – confirming number of factors in the Political & Philsophys of the present Hungarian Government.
REMEMBER – that Hungary has been under a MASSIVE Global Microscope over the past (4) four years – through the “Style” of its Prime Minister – Victor Orban.
The list of FRIENDSHIPS and DAMAGE – to the brand name Hungary – has Suffered over the past (4) four years.
Hungary – is in a WEDGED position – due to its DEEP relationships with Russia & China.
Hungary – its Economy – is in MASSIVE Trouble.
Hungary – can’t give BELEIVED explanantions – to the Global World – the side it supports and actions it is taking or could take – in this Russian War on the Ukraine.
REMEMBER : is it time the PEOPLE told the Government of its ERRORS – instead – of a Government telling the people of there ERRORS.
Péter Szijjártó knows how to protect Hungary from Foreign Evil: That’s probably why President Vladimir Putin awarded him the Russian Order of Friendship. Bestowed personally by Sergei Lavrov, no less – household name by now
Everything is planned by the Evil World Government. Magyarorszagnak vege lesz ha az ellenzek nyer. Ez csak akkor lehetseges ha az ellenzek csal. Mnden kilett tervezve, az arnyek Vilag Kormanya szerint.

“Doesn’t matter who’s in power, Hungary will not go to war as we’re part of NATO, therefore there’s no being “dragged” into anything.”
Speaking as a non-European/non-Westerner observing European events, I don’t know about that. NATO after all did bomb Serbia (1999) and Libya (2011). As bad as Serbia and Libya may have been at those times, they were not, if i recall correctly, threatening any NATO country. But still NATO decided it was the ‘right’ thing to bomb them.
Zelensky is responsible for the war in Ukraine. President Truman had a saying “the buck stops here”, meaning that a president or prime minister is responsible for what happens internally. Zelensky should not have given Russia the excuse to invade by saying he wanted to join NATO. Zelensky should be concentrating on how to end the war instead of giving Russia an option to destroy the country.
It is time for Hungary to declare neutrality.
It’s immoral and unethical that the Ukranian government is interfering in Hungary’s election. In addition to this outrage, billionaire, NWO Globalist, Economy Destroyer, Nation Destroyer, rabid God Hater, George Soros, is infamous for using his power, wealth, fraud and deceit to bring about regime change in many countries including America and Hungary.
Vote for Freedom! Vote For Orban! Leader of the People, For the People, Hungary First, Orban!
