Six EU members to boycott Hungary’s EU presidency due to PM Orbán’s Moscow journey

Poland, the Baltic states and the Scandinavian EU member states will boycott Hungary’s EU presidency because the prime minister visited Moscow. Orbán met Putin last Friday to talk about the possible end of the war in Ukraine. After the visit, Russian missiles hit and destroyed a Ukrainian hospital treating children with cancer.

Euractiv said Poland, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania decided to boycott Hungary’s EU presidency and will not send ministers to the Budapest summits. The first such summit will be concerning environmental issues. We wrote about that HERE.

Those countries will send lower-ranked officials to the informal meetings in Budapest.

The Financial Times wrote that the EU’s legal service found Orbán’s visit to Moscow contradictory to the EU’s fundamental treaties.

Fidesz MEP: Brussels reactions to Orban’s ‘peace mission’ critical

Reactions in Brussels to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s “peace mission” have been “critical, offensive and even hysterical” by some people, ruling Fidesz MEP Tamas Deutsch said on Friday. He told public radio that one of the reasons was that the majority of European leaders were pro-war and wanted to send increasing amounts of weapons and money to Ukraine.

The other reason was that their pro-war position was based on the assumption that the only way to peace is war, he added.

“The Hungarian prime minister’s mission has refuted and destroyed that position,” he said.

Orbán’s peace mission “has shown that active diplomatic steps can be made” to promote peace, Deutsch said. He expressed hope that the peace mission would direct the large powers towards peace.

He also said that the European Parliament elections showed that a sovereigntist, patriotic trend was under way in the world.

The Fidesz MEP said that the formation of the Patriots for Europe group in the EP demonstrated a “victory at the European level”, noting that it was the third strongest formation in the EP.

Trump’s victory patriotic turn in world politics

In response to a question, he said there was a realistic chance that Donald Trump would win in the US, and this would bring about a sovereigntist, patriotic turn in world politics, in turn bringing an end to the Ukraine war closer.

He said the Patriots for Europe group could further strengthen in the upcoming period, and added that what was even more important was that serious and effective strategic cooperation could develop with the group of European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) led by Giorgia Meloni, resulting in the second largest force in the EP.

He said chances were good for patriots to win in the Czech Republic and Austria, and within six months or a year a new parliamentary election might be held in France, where Marine Le Pen could come out as a governing force.

He said right wing progress could develop also in the European Council. It was uncertain whether Ursula von der Leyen would get the necessary support to head the European Commission again, and there could be certainly a reshuffle among the commissioners, he added.

  1. I would like and explanation from those sapheads on how to achieve peace in Ukraine without talking to Russia. The warmongers would be really disappointed if peace was achieved and globalist armed manufacturers would be crying for missed future profits, more control due to high % of borrowed monies.

  2. It’s perfectly understandable. Those counties have no misconceptions about Russian continuous pro-war intentions.

  3. Orban is a destructive clown – a useful idiot for Putin. He has brainwashed millions of Hungarians with years of Kremlin designed propaganda to promote the evil mafia state that is Russia while promoting hate of the US for what? What did Russia do to Hungary for 45 years and now Fidesz goes back to them to pledge their allegiance and screw the West? What kind of people are these?

  4. What kind of people are Hungarians who allow a leader who supports war criminals and the of killing of children, who smiles as he sucks up to Trump a convicted fraud and rapist, why aren’t the people of Hungary on the street demanding civility, humanity and the overthrow of this government? The Hungarian are simply stupid sheep following their master.

  5. Orbans visit to Russia, authority for his visit, what procedure was under taken ?
    Did he COMPLY to Rules and Regulations of the Presidency ?
    Did he again just for his own EGO – undertake the Putin meeting without following the President of the European Union guidelines ?
    Orban is an absolute “Judas” in what he “flying” around Europe – the NATO Summit, the “Break” away group, to inflict destruction and division, chaos – inside the European Union – the “veiled” purpose of his Marketing “spiel”.
    Orban – is an object just INTENT to bring about DESTRUCTION to DEMOCRACY.
    Orban, as is his Foreign Minister – Peter Szijjarto, and Finance Minister – Mihaly Varga – they all (3) three are GOFER’s to Putin’s Russia.
    Orban – look at Hungary, the Fidesz Government in POWER – for 15 years – the distillation on-going of DEMOCRACY – they have FORCED upon us, to live our lives, converting Hungary back again to a Government, in style reminiscent of the DEPRESSIVE and Suppressed – that STRANGULATED us, inhibited personal OPPORTUNITIES of our lives, our careers and as a country – Hungary – those years of 1945-1989.
    Orban, the Fidesz Government – our Economic and Financial position – a cataclysmic “Vesuvius” nearing a humongous EXPLOSION that it’s FORCE it’s POWER – it’s aftermath effects will be of Destruction.
    Orban “dances” on – and around Europe and the World, carrying supposedly waving the White Flag of Peace – through DIALOGUE, meeting sitting around the table with Putin’s Russia, that FAVOURS – in his “Gofer” role, the capitulation of the Ukraine – never, never out of his BIG mouth, that NEVER has he mentioned that Russia MUST “get of the lands” of the Ukraine firstly, back into there lands, then we can just maybe – enter into, we the West, the country’s of DEMOCRACY, that don’t include Orbans – Hungary, as they under his Prime Ministership, his Fidesz Government are NOT a DEMOCRACY – engage in Dialogue.
    The Ukraine rightfully should never CEDE – the giving up POWER – the giving up of Territory – the giving up of Sovereignty
    DEMOCRACY – country’s Governed under Democracy – must be the “Stays” in Solidarity to the Ukraine to ensure, to enforce there be NO territorial loss nor POWER nor sovereignty – to Orbans / Putin’s – “veiled” DEMANDS.
    NEVER – does Orban – never take this POSITION – one of “recommendation” or suggestion to Putin’s Russia, because the “Conflict of Interest(s)” – that he Orban factually is in, with his “association” – his relationships, partnerships – being personally on the Kremlin, Putin – pay role.
    Orban – this “Judas” role he PLAYS – he nor Hungary, as it is ACCEPTED by All country’s that are Governed under DEMOCRACY – there will be NO favours – afforded him nor Hungary.
    Hungary – are the LIGHTS – the messages coming out of this “latest” venture by Orban, his Peace GALLIVANT’s – the global, not just European opinion of NEGATIVITY being COMMUNICATED out in opinion of his “Travel” show ?
    Hungary – we have been FAILED over 15 years – as a country, like 3 million plus living in POVERTY, our Economic & Financial position – it’s nadir not yet reached, the relationships with “other” country’s like Great Britain & Norther Ireland, the United States of America -all country’s Governed under DEMOCRACY – the European Union and NATO – the name, the proud name HUNGARY – by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government have HUMILIATED – shamed & embarrassed the name – HUNGARY.
    It will WORSEN – but in intensified SOLIDARITY of us, the citizens of Hungary – opposing, challenging, taking “peaceful” actions – rights of citizens under Democracy – we can SALVAGE back what has been taken from us – destroyed from being of our usage – our qualities of life – our Futures, our Families, our Children, our Loved ones FUTURE – and the FUTURE of Hungary.
    Hungary – the ‘Vesuvius” place we are in, let it be HOPED, that in the middle of it’s BIG Blow sits Victor Mihaly Orban and around him his Fidesz Government that we see of there for the GOOD of Hungary, the Future of Hungary, the good of Europe and the World, in the name of DEMOCRACY – we see them – OBLIVIATED.
    Hungary – we HAVE been Betrayed.- by act’s of TREACHERY.
    What OPPORTUNITIES present them-selves to the “growing” Political POWER house in Hungarian Politics – the Tisza – Respect & Freedom Party under the J.F. K – “youthful image” – of Magyar Peter.
    THEY must OFFER – sell to US in there CREED that the Tisza – Respect & Freedom Party WILL :
    (1) – practice to the CORE – Democracy.
    (2) – that Hungary remains embraces being a Member of the European Union.
    (3) – that Hungary remains in NATO.
    WHAT is “on there PLATE” – the absolute SMORGASBOARD + of matters – for the Tisza – Respect & Freedom Party they WILL inherit, at the FALL of the Orban, Fidesz Government – will be Gargantuan.
    Points (1) to (3) – front page of there Manifesto and CREED – to the citizens of – the population of Hungary.
    Opening paragraph of there BIBLE – there creeds in there Governance of Hungary, recommended it be WRITTEN communicated :
    “We the Tisa – Respect and Freedom Party – we will LISTEN to You.
    We as your Political Party of CHOICE – that is in your Freedom, besides ENCOURAGEING inviting DIALOGUE that is the Foundation Stone of Democracy – we besides Listening to YOU – we UNEQUIVOCALLY – will in Policy making DECISIONS do –
    (1) – what’s the NEED of personally ALL Hungarians.
    and Secondly ;
    (2) what’s BEST for ALL Hungarians.
    Tisza – Respect & Freedom Party – hopefully we see another “Camelot” beginning under Mayar Peter, and his Children, and “who-ever” his “Jackie O” maybe on his arm.🌹
    Mayar Peter – needs HUMONGOUS support, encouragement Dialogue & Citizen/Population in-put & INVOLVEMENT.
    He can’t be a Martello’s Tower.
    Hungary – we have earned the Right of our Freedom, our Liberty – Blessed words given us by Saint Pope John Paul 11 – in August 1991 – the first of his (2) two Pontifical visits to Hungary that – etched in stone as I commentate this very day in Stone in Heroes Square – the full BLESSED message he GAVE us.
    In FACT – Victor Mihaly Orban & his wife in the VIP seats front row, on the occasion the Pontifical Mass conducted by His Holiness in Heros Square – HEARD – these BLESSED words – ;
    Hungarians – “Be Mindful of the Blessings that FREEDOM, which you have DEFINITIVELY secured – means for your FUTURE.
    Cherish it, and make GOOD use of your LIBERTY.”
    History never LIES and the PENETRATIVE – question can RIGHTLY be ASKED ;
    Was there a “Judas” sitting in the front row on that FAMOUS and BLESSED day occasion in Budapest, Hungary, in our Square dedicated to our HERO’s ???
    Hungary – we have been FAILED.
    Orban – is Polemic in his behavioural character, that his “latest” piece of Political theatre – this descriptive word in part of his character – is CORRECT, displayed for “all & sundry” to OBSERVE.
    Orban – clandestine muchly in his behavioural characteristics.
    Orban – is a Hypocrite.
    Hungary – in the words o Sir Winston. Spencer. Churchill – who said :
    ” The farther backwards you can LOOK,
    the farther FORWARD you are likely to SEE.”
    Hungary – my FELLOW Hungarians – it’s TIME.

  6. DNH lies as always. Missile that hitted the hospital fachade was one of the american origin air defense system. The Russian missiles hitted the target hundreds of meters from the hospital. if Russian would target the hospital, it would be entirely destroyed, not only the fachade. Another fake news from the western media to escalate the conflict.

  7. Nothing going to happen unless the US makes it happen- they are responsible for the mess to begin with. It was trump who demanded NATO pay there share. Europe has twice the population and it US taxpayers been foisting the bill for 75 years. If trump gets elected it will be a new goverment that wants the killing to stop as its number 1 priority and Orban will be a main adviser. He didn’t just meet with Putin.

  8. The (3) three Stooges are :
    Victor M. Orban.
    Donald J. Trump.
    Marine A.P. Le Pen.
    One has FALLEN right off her Perch – FINISHED off in French Politics.
    One is making a complete “moron” of him-self – in the Eyes of the Global World, country’s under DEMOCRACY.
    One, the “infamous” 45th President of the United States of America – his FATE to come builds.
    Orbans words of Right is ALWAYS Right – will “Choke” him, and the “other ” two “Partners in Crime”.
    The FALL of the Rights no greater PICTURE than Great Britain & Ireland.
    France – not WANTED.
    Orban – Hungary – he may “bat on” but his plans and vision of Hungary – will be in total VAIN.
    Trump – if allowed back into the Oval Office, will throw the World into a Whirl-pool, through what he has “mouthed off” in undertaking, if re-elected.
    Right is the WRONG turn for the FUTURE of Europe and the Global World.

  9. @maria, how to achieve paece? Maybe by kick them out? Remember, Ukraine is defending them self. They are the one under attack. And remember that both parties had already sit and talked an no agreement was achieve. What will be the difference if they sit and talk today if their goals have not been achieved? Are you 5 years old or what?

  10. , So much hateful garbage about a great leader of Hungary Victor Orban, respected all around the world, accept by globalist jews and communists. You should not forget in 2014 the CIA coup against the elected government, George Soros, Victoria Nooland, Dr Henry Kssinger, Klauss Schwwab from WEF, the homosexual Israeli Harara created a new government where they wanted to setup a New Jerusalem, became a total failure, cost hundreds of $ billions of , 500,000 dead ?? Time to get a peace agreement and get rid of the Zelinski dictatorship.., ..
