PM Orbán continues “peace mission” in Washington, wants NATO to remain defence alliance
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán discussed Hungary’s peace mission with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Washington, DC on Tuesday, the PM’s press chief said.
Orbán asked Erdogan to back the peace mission, noting that Türkiye had been the only country so far to successfully mediate between the sides in the Russia-Ukraine war, Bertalan Havasi said.
Orbán wrote in his recent Facebook post that he would like to preserve the NATO for what it was founded 75 years ago: a defence alliance.
Hungary urges NATO to take ‘greater role’ in Ukraine peace initiative
The time has come for NATO “to take on a greater role in the peace mission for Ukraine and in starting meaningful talks”, Lorinc Nacsa, the head of the Hungarian delegation at the NATO parliamentary summit under way in Washington, DC, said late on Tuesday.
Nacsa noted that Hungary was not participating in NATO’s coordination mission concerning Ukraine, adding that the country “has received guarantees from the incumbent and incoming secretary generals”.

Nacsa called for coordinated international action to tackle global challenges such as security risks, wars, terrorism and illegal migration. The parliamentary summit was attended by deputies of the 32 NATO members and Ukraine.
EU affairs minister: Hungary to represent those ‘wanting change’
During its presidency of the Council of the European Union, Hungary will represent those wanting change and “will keep the hope for change alive in the next institutional cycle”, Hungary’s minister for EU affairs said in Brussels on Tuesday.
Speaking at an event at the Brussels headquarters of the Foundation for a Civic Hungary, János Boka said the EP elections “have clearly shown not only that change is necessary, but also that there is a yearning for change, as Europeans themselves have clearly expressed”.
Political forces campaigning for change had strengthened and those standing for the status quo had suffered losses, Boka said.
He said that over the last five years the EU “could have done a lot more to become a global player on its own that is capable of identifying and enforcing its own strategic interests” and taking responsibility for its own security. But during this time the bloc “hasn’t done anything” to resolve the migration crisis, defend its external borders or explore the “innovative solutions” that would have facilitated this, he said. Neither had the EU managed to reverse the decline in its economic competitiveness or provide a perspective for European agriculture, he added.
The Hungarian presidency will work to address these issues, Boka said.

Uh. So Mr. Boka is suggesting that, since certain parties have done better than before, however have been unable to achieve anything resembling a majority, should be able to dictate the agenda?
Mutatis mutandis, if Mr. Magyar continues to grow his base, he would be entitled to a significant say in Hungary, regardless if still a minority?
Today we have wars and rumors of wars to come in many places on earth. We have disasters such as earthquakes, fires and storms in places all around the world as well. In short were a mess. The reason I believe is clear. These are the end times and were headed quickly to the tribulation period that the Bible tells us about. Jesus Christ died in man kinds place in order to forgive us of our sins. All you need to do to get that forgiveness is to turn from sin and pray to him and take his free gift of forgiveness. If you want that salvation in Jesus, do it quickly because as you can see time is running out and the tribulation period of God that will punish the whole world is coming fast!
N.A.T.O. is a DEFENSIVE alliance. It can certainly be used to exert political pressure and geostrategic influence, but its role is not for a few of its members to strongarm the rest into joining military escapades that could well cause a world war.
And no, Ukraine should not join it. Russia was given guarantees in the 1990s about N.A.T.O.’s expansion, which were broken, rightly incensing Russia. For Ukraine to be admitted would further aggravate Russia, again rightly, for no good reason.
Boka, again taking the POSITION of RIGHTEOUSNESS – the Hungarian “ways” under the Leadership of what he has become an “Menhir” figure, a HUMILIATED individual, that is the Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Mihaly. Orban.
Hungary can’t play any active role(s) as MODERATORS in this War of Russia on the Ukraine.
Hungary, led there by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government of Hungary, there INVESTED Interest(s) in Russia, a “Gofer” role they play to Putin’s, Russia, same with China – the “veiled” presentation of the “supposed” adapted or recommended DIRECTION needing application, to bring about a CEASE to the Russian War on the Ukraine, is an IMPOSSIBILITY being “voiced” by Orban and his Fidesz Government.
Orban, as the Prime Minister of a Country, in an Economic “Cyclone” – then the “Hat” he wears, as the European Union – President, through there being No NEUTRALITY of Hungary that clearly there adapted position is a divorced/separated place, in all affairs diplomatic / trade and “other” with Russia, the Orban “road show” is just that – THEATRE.
The world grows in seeing – not just HUNGARIANS in our MILLIONS – Victor Mihaly. Orban, the individual, and his Fidesz Government of Hungary, the country of his Prime ministership, not playing an “inkling” in part – a “Martello’s” role – in the Russian War on the Ukraine, nor FAVOURS of type to the European Union nor NATO and definitely NOT to DEMOCRACY.
Creditability – Respect – Trust this is the FACT – the “place” we Hungary HAVE been DELIVERED to by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government.
WHO – after 15 years as our GOVERNMENT – the Orban led Fidesz Government of Hungary – who are our FRIENDS ?
HOPE Red is NOT your FAVOURED colour ///.

The “un-conditional” LOVE of Christ Jesus.
He NEVER tiers waiting in wanting to speak with us.
“He is the Way, the Truth and the Light” – yet Christ Jesus suffers our ABUSE.
In his Mercy, in his Forgiveness, his GIFT to us individually of the Holy Spirit, listening to him, talking to him in our prayerfulness – our free of NO charge line of COMMUNICATION to Christ Jesus – through our Faith, our Trust, our Belief and LOVE of him, he waits for US.
Life, accepting through the journeys the layers of life we move, to LIVE our Lives, in accordance to his WORD, that “encases” – in out Thoughts, in our Words and the Deed’s we do others – that are our personal “Creeds” – in the life we live and the Faith, Trust, Belief we have in Christ Jesus.
Christ Jesus – he promised us – WILLED to us, that he would NEVER abandon us.
We dismally FAIL in doing the Wills, the commandments given us, that NEVER must we FORGET, giving praise and Glory to his Holy name, the Son of the Father, what Christ Jesus – the pain and sacrifices he SUFFERED – that we be cleansed of Sin, be granted as we have New Life, that is just an “inkling” of the Un-conditional LOVE, the Son of God – Christ Jesus has for each and every one of US.
In our FAILINGS of Obedience to him, his WORD – his Mercy, his Forgiveness, his Un-conditional LOVE is there waiting – his Sacred Heart – for US.
“I am the Master of my Fate.
I am the Captain of my Soul.”
Blessed “teaching” of Pope Benedict XV1 :
His Holiness said :
“Are we all perhaps afraid in someway ?
If we let Christ Jesus fully into our Lives, if we open totally ourselves to Him ?
Are we not afraid he may take something away from us ?
No – if we let Christ Jesus into our lives, we loose NOTHING nothing ABSOLUTELY nothing – of what makes life free, beautiful and Great.
No – only in his invitation of FRIENDSHIP, do we experience beauty, and liberation.
When we give OURSELVES to him, we receive a hundredfold in return.
YES, open open wide the doors to Christ Jesus – and YOU will find True Life.”
Pope Francis – has spoken to us, to be not just the Holy Roman Catholic “Universal” Church, its NEED to be Missionary – but in our LIVES, we through our Faith, our Trust, our Belief and LOVE of Christ Jesus – we be INSTRUEMENTS of his Peace, his Happiness that is there in abundance FOR all to share, and in the conduct of our daily lives we be MISSIONARY.
My life, in me, that with Him and Through Him – Christ Jesus – my Trust and Belief, through “blessed” experience, of Christ Jesus keeping his PROMISES to Me, my daily life NEVER forgets – the BLESSED words – the MESSAGE of the Words – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen – 1895-1979 -, an American Bishop – gave us, when he PREACHED :
” The Greatest LOVE story of ALL time – is CONTAINED in a tiny white host.”
“A posse ad esse” – From the Possible to the Actual or – from being Able to Being.
The Orban government has resolutely opposed the EU aristocrats politicians who follow the wishes of Western globalists, neoconservatives, and warmongers, and has consistently called for a ceasefire and peace despite pressure from them. I respect and strongly support this political stance.
Among intelligent Japanese people who are interested in international politics, the number of fans of Prime Minister Orban is steadily increasing. These intelligent Japanese people are very envious of Hungary, which has a leader like Prime Minister Orban.
The reason is that the current Kishida administration in Japan has been repeating policies that betray the country and abandon the people, in other words, bad governance and foolish policies, without any consideration for the lives of the Japanese people. Prime Minister Kishida is without a doubt the most unpopular prime minister in Japanese history.
Compared to the current Japanese Prime Minister and Cabinet, it can be said that the Hungarian government is at least 10 times better.
The actions of Hungary, who holds the EU presidency, in this “peace mission” are absolutely correct. We do not want to get involved in this pointless, farcical proxy war any longer. A ceasefire is necessary as soon as possible.
I warmly support Prime Minister Orbán and Foreign Minister Szijjártó. Please keep up the good work and never give in to the pointless slander of the Western globalists, neocons, warmongers, and their henchmen.
Japanese Hungarian fan – I will not, as I could, reply in tone to your commentary, in a “blend” of folksy humour, crude attacks at your “questionable” opinions, with rhetorical finesse, but SIMPLE say, that all Russia have to do, is leave the “lands” of the Ukraine they have invaded – and the War is OVER.
Russia are the INVADERS and DEMOCRACY, must continue to throw it’s Might & Power at Putin’s Russia that sees them leave the “lands” of Ukraine.
Capitulation – this WORD in the DNA of Japanese History not RECOGNIZABLE.
Democracy – will never Capitulate and Russia, will continue to experience the FORCE – that GLOBALLY, not including Hungary, who are NOT a DEMOCRACY, that will be relentless in there pursuit, the achieving, that Russia, return leave the “invaded” lands of the Ukraine, returning back to the boarders, country of Russia.
P.M. Orban is unique amongst a group of war mongers. He is the only president who is on the side of peace. Hungarians got lucky when they elected a patriot.
Japanese Hungarian fan –
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto – Commander in Chief of the United Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, famously said, on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour – December 7th 1941 ;
” I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Bit in that you may “delve” into relating it to the Russian INVASION of the Ukraine.
The WINNER was ?
