The assassination attempt against former US President Donald Trump is a facet of a political culture which says that a political opponent is a threat to the nation and democracy and so all means are justified, Balázs Orbán, the political director of the prime minister’s office, said in an interview to public radio on Monday.
He said liberal politicians in Brussels were saying day in, day out that once the right-wing came to power democracy was doomed.
“All extremists find this kind of rhetoric as pretext: to prevent evil, all means are justified,” he added.
This should not become part of the political culture, he said. Criticism was okay, he said, but human dignity was vital, he added.
Orbán said the democratic will in Hungary, Europe and America showed that “people don’t accept various liberal pro-war, migration policies.”
During dinner with Donald Trump in Florida they agreed that American politics had become “hardened for good”, he said.
It was clear, he insisted, that the West thought of itself as being in a war with Russia “and in times of war all means are permitted”. So those who speak against the war were seen as internal enemies, he added.

European allies “stuck” in their war strategy
This attitude, he said, was typical of the Western press and put Hungary in the cross-hairs, too. “Hungary must be preserved as an island of peace and these extreme attitudes must be kept outside the country’s borders.”
Orbán said the warring parties needed potential mediators to map a route to peace, and China and Turkiye appeared to be committed in this direction. But “the liberal American leadership” and their European allies were “stuck” in their war strategy.
He said Trump had made it clear, on the other hand, that he would solve the issue alone. “But Europe must act in the meantime, which is why the Hungarian prime minister wrote a report for Brussels and has proposed a strategic change of direction,” he said.
He said that while America was mired internal political crises, Europe could take their fate into their own hands and act as peace mediators.

Trump’s enemies and Orbán’s spew the same hateful rhetoric. They are so hive-minded that they can not develop an original attack. Trump will win the election and Hungary can once again have a normal relationship with the US. Their ambassador Pressman can go back to advocating for gay rights😎
Does he have intel that even Americans don’t have? If not, then maybe the responsible, ethical thing to do would be to…
Trump will be president again , if they don’t take a deadly shot him for the second time. You will see just how admired Orban is on the world stage especially in the US.
Excellent example of how bad things have gotten. You had 4 women SS agents half trumps size flopping around like chickens- it all over the internet. The head of the SS is a woman – former head of Pepsi security. The head of the US navy is a trans man- free transition for the the troops.
Deranged Russian designed conspiracy theory shamelessly and disgustingly put out by traitor to Europe and Hungary Viktor Orban.
So far in these comments the main thing appears to be anti gay. TM, you comment is so much bull that it should smell from the screen. They have a peace plan, but it is a SECRET. because the plan is to give everything to Russia, with Hungary next. Hello 1956. Is this what we want? In Russia they throw you in jail just for going to a funeral of someone they do not like. Victor is in so far over his head, he truely is the useful idiot. I can not imagine what Trump and Putin say when he leaves the room. Look behind you, Victor, when Putin gets tired of your his henchmen come calling. Goodbye to the dreams of Hungarians to be free, we let this guy steal the country while we were sleeping. Again on the wrong side of history.
Gender preference does not come into the assassination attempt of President Trump. There could be many theories. The democrats are behind in the polls, this could be a way ensuring a win. It could be a Ukrainian who wanted President Trump dead because he does not support the war. The assassination attempt could just be performed by a stupid young male. The Secret Service is incompetent.
Take your pick. I prefer to wait until all the investigations come to a logical conclusion.
