Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has said that operations of the "Brussels lies factory" were unceasing despite "its continual failures".
Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook on Wednesday that the “attacks” on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s peace mission to Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing and Florida had “failed”. Orbán’s visits were followed by talks between the defence ministers of the US and Russia, the foreign ministers of Switzerland and Russia, the foreign ministers of the US and China, while the prime ministers of Italy and Ukraine travelled to Beijing, and the Ukrainian president called former US President Donald Trump by phone, he added. Szijjártó also insisted that Brussels’ “mask slipped” as it had failed to conceal its enthusiasm for the Ukrainian measures that resulted in two European Union member states, including Hungary, facing severe energy supply risks due to the oil taps being shut off. The minister said that after these “two failures”, Brussels bureaucrats had come forward “with another lie” suggesting that Hungary was letting spies from Russia and Belarus into the EU.
