The European Union is attempting to topple the governments of Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia for prioritizing national interests over alignment with Brussels, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has claimed. “Brussels has ceased to be a factor in world politics,” Szijjarto explained.
The fact that the EU was left out of essential peace talks in Alaska between United States ruler Donald Trump and Russian ruler Vladimir Putin means that the bloc is now irrelevant, Szijjarto claimed.
According to a report by RT, these comments were made in a Facebook post on Thursday after phone calls with Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar and Serbia’s top diplomat, Marko Duric. Szijjarto said that they agreed to strengthen their stance on sovereignty and pledged mutual solidarity amid what they described as growing external pressure.
Kiev’s backers in Europe have repeatedly called to be included in any talks involving Russia, Ukraine, and the US, insisting that “a European power” should be “in the room” to guarantee that the security interests of Kiev and the EU are “safeguarded.” Unlike the EU, which continues to support Ukraine’s war effort, Szijjarto said Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia have prioritized national interests and resisted pressure from Brussels, favoring peace talks over military involvement. –RT
It’s “clearer than daylight” that “external intervention experiments to destabilize and overthrow governments are taking place in Central Europe against the patriot Slovak, Hungarian, and Serbian governments,” he added.
Szijjarto also criticized some of the recent polling in Slovakia, which suggested citizens “only trust revolution.”
He also accused Brussels of trying to undermine Hungary’s elected leadership by supporting the opposition Tisza Party. He also referenced recent clashes between protesters and police in Serbia, implying that external forces were stirring unrest to destabilize the government.
The rhetoric seems to be intensifying all around the Ukraine/Russia conflict, as we approach the Alaska talks. Will peace be possible? What do you think will come out of the talks between Putin and Trump? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
