During the presidency of Donald Trump, the relationship between Hungary and the United States was the best, said Peter Sejarto in an interview with the American news portal Fox News Digital.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the Hungarian government is fully prepared to work with the elected political forces of the United States.
At the same time, we must be honest: in terms of political relations and relations, there was a huge difference between conservative or republican and democratic governments. During Trump’s presidency, there was one of the best political relations between the two countries, and the best possible relationship
– announced the Prime Minister, who added: The same good relationship will distinguish the two governments if Donald Trump runs and wins the next election.
In the interview, Peter Szijjarto dismissed accusations that Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who was re-elected for the fourth time in April of this year, would undermine democracy. The foreign minister sees it this way: the EU does not consider a country a democracy unless it is ruled by liberals.
This is not the case in Hungary, because we are a nationalist, centre-right, Christian democratic government, and vehemently opposed to the liberal mainstream. They hate us, and because we are successful, we provide an example that not only the liberal mainstream can be progressive and successful. A conservative political strategy can also be successful. And they can’t stand this fact
– The politician added, according to the MTI report.
Péter Szijjártó agreed with leaders who spoke at the United Nations General Assembly that the climate crisis is one of the main political challenges. The minister noted that Hungary reduced its emissions with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, while increasing its GDP.
And about the sanctions imposed on Russia, he said that they harm the Europeans more than the Russians.
The security of European energy supplies is essentially a thing of the past. There is a crisis in the energy supply, not only in terms of prices, but also in terms of quantity, not to mention inflation and food prices. Therefore, the sanctions policy did not provide the results that the European Union and the Brussels institutions expected from it.
Peter Szijjarto confirmed.
