Foreign Minister Reacts to Belgian Threat to Silence Diplomatic Efforts in Ukraine
Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó, has raised concerns about Brussels’ intentions to suppress pro-peace forces by silencing and excluding Hungary from EU decision-making processes. This comes in response to a statement by the Belgian Foreign Minister, who suggested advancing the Article 7 rule of law procedure against Hungary, potentially leading to the country being stripped of its voting rights in the EU Council.
Minister Szijjártó emphasized the critical nature of the upcoming European Parliament elections, stating that such a significant decision should not precede input from the Hungarian public. He accused Brussels of being in a “state of war-madness” and attempting to eliminate opposition to war.
“There is a curfew panic, six days to go until the European elections, six days to go before people pull the emergency brake on the pro-war train,” Péter Szijjártó declared, urging European citizens to use their vote as a means to halt the pro-war agenda.
He warned of a looming “third world war” if the current trajectory continues unchecked and called for strong support in the June 9 elections to resist the mounting pressure and continue advocating for peace.
Parliamentary Secretary of State Barna Pál Zsigmond echoed these sentiments, highlighting the strategic political pressure on Hungary in the lead-up to the elections. He emphasized the importance of the elections in maintaining Hungary’s veto power within the EU and criticized the globalist elite and Brussels bureaucracy for their attempts to influence the electoral process.
Zsigmond stressed Hungary’s priority to prevent war from reaching the EU and underscored the widespread support for peace among the Hungarian populace. He urged solidarity for peace in the upcoming elections, emphasizing the need for overwhelming public backing to maintain Hungary’s stance against war.
The remarks by Minister Szijjártó and Secretary of State Zsigmond reflect Hungary’s commitment to peace and sovereignty within the EU, as they stand firm against what they perceive as attempts to silence their voice and exclude them from decision-making processes. With the European Parliament elections just days away, the call for unity and peace resonates strongly in Hungary.
