Orbán cabinet: we do not need the lecture from the Republican and Democrat US delegations
The Hungarian government does not need lectures from US congress delegations on what should happen in Hungary, as only Hungarians can decide that, the foreign minister said on Monday.
Responding to question regarding a visit to Hungary by a bipartisan US congress delegation, Péter Szijjártó told a press conference on the sidelines of a meeting of the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Council that the delegation had not been received at ministerial level, similarly to Hungarian delegations in the US.
Earlier talks with similar delegations had resulted in “comprehensive lectures on how we should govern Hungary,” he said.

Szijjártó said the way Hungary should be governed was decided by Hungarians whose decisions the government implemented.
“We do not need US congressional delegations to lecture us on what should and shouldn’t happen in Hungary.”
The delegation’s press conference had also shown they wanted to discuss EU and internal matters rather than bilateral ones, he said. “None of those [issues] concern them.”
Regarding European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s decision to run for re-election, Szijjártó said the EU’s competitiveness and security had “dramatically” deteriorated on her watch.
“If … she is judged on merit, I think President Von der Leyen will be graded poorly at the end of her term,” he said.
Szijjártó also welcomed Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristensson’s decision to visit Budapest, adding that the meeting could further the Hungarian parliament’s ratification of Sweden’s NATO membership, “although the final date is still unknown”.
He also praised Hungarian-Swedish defence cooperation, adding that Swedish companies “feel good in Hungary” and noting that the Hungarian Armed Forces fly Gripen aircraft.

You don’t want the American lectures but you are going to sign off on the Swedish accession into the EU just as the Americans and all of the rest of us want. The Hungarian face of Fidesz is beyond saving. It’s now going into ridicule because Orban and his idiot bunch went too far.
Concur – Larry.
They “walked the plank” and it snapped under weight of playing in European & Global Political fields under Democracy, which was and continues to be there principal “modus operandi” to destroy, and replace “firmer” the establishing, the Communistic Governance of Hungary.
Orban – 15 years on, what have we been left with ?
The name – Victor Mihaly Orban – of NO future marketing value, throughout the DEMOCRATIC country’s of the World.
Orban, which he has “dragged” the name Hungary to it’s present level of disrespect / not of TRUST, that grows in seeing the name Orban – rightfully being of “persona non gratis” – not wanted nor welcomed in country’s that are governed under Democracy viewing Orban totally of non acceptance of there Government.
Orban – continues to Humiliate the name of Hungary – WRONGFULLY.
What’s the FUTURE ?
“Hungarian government does not need lectures from US congress delegations”
That’s what I would have thought…. and I would have been wrong, because clearly the only ally Hungary cares about is russia. It spits in the faces of the EU and NATO and now the US…. why does Szijjarto want to return Hungary to being a vassal of russia?
They wants to do the same thing they did in Ukraine and get rid of the twice elected government and violently eject it with help of the Nazi brigade. This while yelling democracy. How is it working out for them now that 10s of thousands have been killed.
I’m sure Soros can arrange a visit of joe Biden to teach you about democracy.
Also arrange a direct deposit account from Hungary to the Biden Crime Family.
If you just put sanctions on Putin things will be fine. The million for left wing media in Hungary must be coming up for renewal. The US ambassador can get it doubled with a trans leader to handle the cash. The US is so proud of Fanni and Wade funded by Soros and how they took down 18 trump associates. The legal system is now an example for the world with almost half billion dollar fine on trump by another Soros funded DA and the prestiges NY Justice system
The gauntlet was thrown down when Pressman was sent to Hungary. President Biden could not have chosen anyone better that hates Hungary and Hungarians. Imagine, a poor country with a population of less than 10 million decided to keep its sovereignty and not yield to globalist supporter US and EU.
US Senators should ensure that their population is able to put food on the table, close the border to uneducated, criminals and terrorists to protect citizens and encourage a peace process between Russia and Ukraine.
Until President Trump is reelected, democrat socialists should stay away from Hungary.
NB. Russia did not attack the EU. Russia did not attack Sweden, Finland and countries that recently joined NATO.
So according to Maria, should we wait to Russia to attack Finland and Sweden frist and then letting the to join nato? Look, i dont like nato. I think the eu as an union should be able to defend themselves without the help of USA, but your points of view are really hard to swallow.
