Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks with Krisztián Forró, the leader of Slovakia’s Hungarian Alliance party, in his office in Budapest on Monday.
According to MTI, PM Orbán and Forró discussed this coming Sunday’s Slovak presidential election, and said that cooperation was of paramount importance. Forró, who is a candidate in the race, said it was important for Slovakian Hungarians to show that “they are there and that Hungarian will still be spoken in Slovakia, even in a thousand years’ time.” Orbán and Forró highlighted the importance of the Visegrad Group, arguing that Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia should “find common ground” as “they can achieve more together”. They called for a ceasefire and peace talks in Ukraine, and took a stance against sending weapons or troops to Ukraine, “which is diametrically opposed to Hungarian interests,” Havasi said.
