“In these extraordinary times the person of elected officials could largely determine if we live in peace in the future or in war,” the foreign minister said, referring to the upcoming European parliamentary elections in Komárom, in northern Hungary, on Friday.
The foreign ministry quoted Péter Szijjártó in a statement as saying that the incumbent leaders of Europe had given “ill-advised responses” to the war in Ukraine, adding that their measures “complemented with misunderstandable remarks” could lead to the conflict “expanding geographically and in time”. In war times “responsible political leaders must be most circumspect not only in their decision making but when they just say something … in a war environment talking about sending troops or mentioning a nuclear war is the greatest possible mistake and the largest irresponsibility,” Szijjártó insisted.
Szijjártó said the EU’s sanctions against Russia had resulted in unprecedentedly high inflation in Europe. He said Hungary’s annual energy spending of 7 billion euros had shot up to 17 billion euros, which resulted in “higher prices for all products … that is how we ended up having 27 percent inflation rather than the usual one or two percent,” he said. “And not because we are stupid or got the economic policy wrong or made three or four bad decisions, but only because of that misguided response of Brussels,” he said.
War in Ukraine: Hungary won’s give support
Concerning plans to increase NATO’s coordinating role in weapons shipments to Ukraine and in the training of Ukrainian soldiers, as well as giving Ukraine a 100 billion euro aid package, Szijjártó reiterated that “Hungary won’t participate in that … it will be a fight for the near future as NATO would not want to create a precedent for allowing an ally to stay away from one of its operations.”
“All this can only be stopped if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election and, on the other hand, the European Parliament’s right wing gets strong enough to oust the current, idle and comfortable majority,” Szijjártó said.

The Hungarian Foreign Minister – Peter Szijjarto, his POSTION, having his “feet and his HEAD” in (2) two camps, the “Veiling” of FACTUAL want(s) – in line & policy of the Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary – HENIOUS.
Opt, from a range of possible choices and outcomes, the Foreign Minister could comment, pass an opinion on, as is his Practice, that of the Party he is of, the “veiling” nor the laying nor declaring, his FACTUAL hand, for WHOM he supports, in Relationship and Partnership with the Orban – Fidesz Government, it is BROADLY known and accepted, the usage of propaganda arising from the Hungarian Foreign Minister, that is the normality of his PRACTICE.
This is what Russia brings to Ukraine and their Fidesz puppets prevent Ukrainians from defending against.
“They beat you until you had huge bruises, then they specially beat you on the bruises … There were times that they hit us so much, I remember I was looking around for pieces of glass to slice my veins with. You just can’t last that long for so many months without starting to go crazy,” he said. During the daily beating ritual, the men were forced to recite poems begging forgiveness from the “fraternal Russians” for Ukraine’s errant ways. They had to memorise the poems, and were beaten harder if they forgot lines or if the guards considered they were not putting enough emotion into them. “Every time, you say ‘I don’t know,’ then they beat you and tell you to remember … One time there was a guy with a shocker who put me on the floor and shocked me right on the arsehole. Every time, I would scream ‘Please no,’ he would stop, and then start again,” he recalled.
