Fearmongering? Third world war possible, says Hungarian government
Change language:
Hungary will support any peace initiative made at the United Nations General Assembly Session and will reject any proposal that risks escalation, “because today we face the real risk of a third world war,” the minister of foreign affairs and trade said in New York on Monday.
According to a foreign ministry statement, Péter Szijjártó said he hoped that participants of the conference would use their time this week “to take a step towards peace in Ukraine after diminishing prospects following the promising developments of recent months.”
Szijjártó said that although progress had been made in “bringing armed conflicts at several places in the world towards a settlement”, concerning the war in Ukraine “there has been no progress towards peace despite good intentions and [US President] Donald Trump’s efforts.”
“Unfortunately, pro-war voices in Europe are much stronger than pro-peace voices. This was clear during preparations for the UN assembly… At several foreign ministerial meetings of the EU … participants were being drilled to promote the European narrative concerning the war in Ukraine…”
Brussels, he said, was “trying to make EU members represent this pro-war position,” Szijjártó said.
Szijjarto is a propagandist for Russia. He constantly paints the EU as “pro war” for promoting the defence of Ukraine as if defence is not a basic right of any country under attack. At the same time he and Orban are completely silent about the evils of Russian aggression. Fidesz works for Russia. It is that simple.
