The opposition Párbeszéd party on Thursday slammed the government for “acting as a vassal to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin”, saying that Hungary continued to be a member of the International Investment Bank (IIB), even as five European states were leaving the institution.
Bence Tordai, the deputy head of the party’s parliamentary group, said that Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland have announced they are quitting the formerly Moscow-based IIB, which Tordai called “the spy bank”.
Tordai accused Orbán of “not wanting to sign the exit declaration which calls Putin’s war senseless and unjustifiable aggression against a sovereign state.”
The lawmaker said
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó “lied” when he said the closure of the Hungarian and Austrian branches of the Russian-owned Sberbank was the consequence of “Brussels’ sanctions policy”.
Noting that Prime Minister Viktor Orban also voted in favour of the measure in the EU, Tordai said the policy was a consequence of “Vladimir Putin’s aggression”. Tordai also lambasted the government’s “outrageous foreign policy” which had accommodated “the Hungarian energy supply system’s exposure to Russia”. He insisted that it also
increased the risks Hungary was facing as “the weakest link in NATO”.
“Fidesz’s incredibly weak economic policy”, Tordai insisted, had led to a historic low of the forint and skyrocketing inflation. Meanwhile, central bank governor Gyorgy Matolcsy and the government had failed to take steps to introduce the euro, he said.

What secrets – it could HOLD ///
The “Inner Sanctum” of Major supporters of the ruling party in Hungary – Fidesz -from the Prime Minister down.
MASS questions – could be and possible ASKED – by the people of Hungary.
Growing over time, in the time they have been in office, has been this Hungary-Russia – RELATIONSHIP.
It ALL probability – the expression – “Where there’s Smoke, there’s Fire” – could not be DISMISSED – as relationships of Major Players – the “Inner Sanctum” of Hungary & Russia – close to a Prime Minister and a President – has been GROWING, through a “Back Door” – illegal process.
Relationships with Major Players in Russia, by Mayor Players from Hungary – those who have POWER(s) to dominate & influence – the Political and Financial & Economic landscape of Hungary & Russia – which could be joint Investment ventures, as a “Minor” example of this RELATIONSHIP – it will be INTERESTING – to “open the books” and see the names that could be Account Holders or Investors – into this Banking operation.
Hungary – from an EU and European perspective inclusive of the United Kingdom and the United States of America – for its FUTURE – must rid it-self of it’s name – Hungary – being involved a participant or by any association with an institution such as this bank – that is under operation – under the name of Russia.
If – it HAPPENS and it SHOULD happen for the FUTURE of Hungary – what comes from under the “cover of rocks” – in all probability – from a normal living existing Hungarian – which there are Millions of us – living our lives to the Laws of Hungary and practicing them and following them – what could be un-covered – could be – Mindboggling.
Hungary – relationships with China – who continue to “sit on the fence” taking no position on the Russian invasion of the Ukraine – then the Hungarian relationship with Russia – these (2) extending RELATIONSHIPS – by Hungary over the time this present Government – have RULED – the citizens of Hungary – citizens voting on April 3 at the National Elections – must THINK deeper as to the Party they cast there VOTE.
ALL that is occuring in the Ukraine – still to un-fold, what POLITICAL Party – give us Hungary the strongest AGENDA in Policies – to remain and exist in Functionality – as a country – to a degree likened to what we live in at present – but of greater importance – our FUTURE – what of our Future and the style of Government – the Politics of a Government – what do we Hungary – WANT – to live under and is best for Future Hungarians ???
