The statements of the Hungarian Prime Minister Balazh Orban that Hungary would not be defended from the Russian invasion as Volodymyr Zelenskyy did, caused a wave of indignation among opposition forces. Opposition policies have strictly criticized such statements by accusing Orban of the country's national security and independence.
Opposition reaction
Opposition leader Peter Madyar sharply condemned the advisor's statement, calling it the actual recognition of Hungary's readiness to capitulate in the event of invasion. "This is unacceptable and contrary to the foundations of the Hungarian Constitution," Magyar said, emphasizing that such words can undermine the country's international reputation.
Opposition policies have called on the Balazh of Orban to resign for “trampling” the ideals of Hungary's independence and sovereignty. They also stressed that such statements undermine confidence in the Hungarian army and call into question the willingness of the authorities to defend their country.
What did the Balazh orban say
The adviser to the Prime Minister himself noted that, in his opinion, the decision of President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky to join the defense war was "irresponsible". Orban suggested that Hungary would not go this way to avoid victims.
The statement has caused not only domestic but also international resonance, as it calls into question the solidarity of Hungary with other European countries in war.
