Orban’s opponent Peter Madyar spoke of “Hungary’s difficult situation in this war,” which is why he is against military aid to Kyiv from Budapest.
Hungarian opposition leader Peter Madyar said he did not support sending arms to Ukraine, but condemned Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Politico reported this on Tuesday, June 18.
“We share the government’s position: we will not send troops or weapons to Ukraine from Hungary. You know how sensitive the situation in Hungary is in this war,” Madyar said.
At the same time, he supported Ukraine’s right to self-defense and called Russian dictator Putin an aggressor. Madyar noted that Ukraine’s “independence and sovereignty” are protected at the international level.
As you know, Madyar was elected to the European Parliament, where he joined the European People’s Party (EPP). The party leadership, especially European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and party leader Manfred Weber, have made support for Ukraine a condition for the entry of any new MEPs into the EPP.
“I think the EPP understands the special, difficult situation in which Hungary finds itself in this war, but of course, we will support the Ukrainians in all other ways and instruments,” Madyar added.
Let’s recall that in March Madyar published an audio recording indicating a government conspiracy to protect corruption schemes. After that, Hungary was rocked by protests.
