PM Orbán receives head of Slovakia’s Hungarian Alliance party
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán received Krisztián Forró, the leader of Slovakia’s Hungarian Alliance party, in his office on Monday.
Orbán and Forró discussed the Slovak presidential election on Sunday and said that cooperation was of paramount importance.
Forró, who is candidate in the race, said it was important for Slovakian Hungarians to show that “they are there and that Hungarian will still be spoken in Slovakia, even in a thousand years’ time.”
Orbán and Forró highlighted the importance of the Visegrad Group, arguing that Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia should “find common ground” as “they can achieve more together”.
They called for a ceasefire and peace talks in Ukraine, and took a stance against sending weapons or troops to Ukraine, “which is diametrically opposed to Hungarian interests.”
As we wrote last week, Slovak House Speaker Pellegrini holds talks in Budapest.
