Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said on Monday that "the pro-war mainstream in Washington and Brussels have launched a final and bitter attempt against the new reality."
"A pro-peace candidate's victory in America and patriotic forces forging ahead in Europe have created a new reality based on the will of voters," Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook.
"They have decided to support pro-peace, patriotic forces, but the pro-war politicians voted out of power will not accept the people's will either in Washington or in Brussels," the minister said. He added that it was "not only anti-democratic but extremely dangerous, too."
"The pro-war forces in their despair seem not to be deterred from the worst: escalating the war in Ukraine into a global conflict," he said.
Referring to an upcoming meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, the first since the US presidential election, Minister Szijjártó said "It will be a tough fight; we must stop efforts towards escalation in Brussels, too."
