Foreign minister Szijjártó: ‘We can’t allow Hungarians to be made to pay price of war’
Talks between Hungarian government officials and the president of the European Commission on the latest EU package of sanctions against Russia on Monday yielded some progress, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said, adding, however, that more discussions were needed in order for Hungary to change its stance.
- “We cannot allow the Hungarian people to be made to pay the price of this war,” Szijjártó told MTI after a meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Budapest
Monday’s meeting mainly focused on the EU’s latest package of sanctions against Russia and its effects on the Hungarian economy, the minister said.
Hungary’s energy supply “rests on stable foundations” at present,
Szijjártó said, adding, at the same time, that the implementation of the new sanctions package would destroy the country’s energy security, as it would make it “impossible” for Hungary to get the crude necessary for the economy to function.
Hungarian government officials briefed the EC president in detail on the impacts the country is experiencing as well as the problems the new sanctions package would cause Hungary, and asked for the package to be reconsidered, he said.
Until the EC offers a solution to these problems, Hungary cannot support the sanctions package because in its current form it is equivalent to “dropping a nuclear bomb on the Hungarian economy”, Szijjártó said.

Could the message have been like – delivered by the President of the European Commission – Ursula Von De Layen :
“Get on board the Peace Train – Mr. Prime Minister.
If you are left at the station, like it appears Hungary is experiencing at this time one of ABANDONMENT – and I ask – who are your friends, you would have to feel ISOLATED as a country – the Future – without you coming back into the Community of European Countrys – could be perilous for you and Hungary.
When can I – or will their be another attempted “Mea Culpa” – from you and your Government – Mr. Prime Minister ?
The train is leaving the station Mr. Prime Minister – a little time – still – to Jump on Board – the Peace Train.
Mr Prime Minister – there is a beautiful very aged Gospel Song – called Peace Train.
Share with you – Mr Prime Ministers some words – from (2) verses of the Gospel Song – Peace Train :
“Now I’ve been crying lately,
Thinking about the World as it is
Why must we go on hating
Wht can’t we live in Bliss.
Cause out on the Edge of Darkness
There rides a Peace Train
Where peace train takes this country
Come take me Home again.”
Wonder – if this was the approach or tone of the meeting – how the Prime Minister of Hungary – would ATTEMPT – to Factually answer it ?
Ursula Von De Leyen – has seen it ALL before – and the Prime Ministers attempt to answer – Ursula Von De Leyen as did Angela Merkel – see – RIGHT Through – him – in his attempt – or “Fabricated” responce.
Get on board – the Peace Train – Hungary and lay ALL your cards on the table.
If Hungary Fail to “Ride” jump on board the Peace Train – as part of the Community of European Countrys – at one’s own Peril – does Hungary journey.
Please stand strong Mr. Orbán.
The snake Ursula is only a corrupt socialist who can’t be trusted.
EU(SSR) is the road to hell.
