Hungary’s FM urges EU politicians to prepare for intense peace efforts

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Sunday hinted that European politicians should prepare for Hungary’s forthcoming actions aimed at promoting peace, advising them to “buckle up” for of what lies ahead.

“We are not deterred or discouraged by these attacks [by the EU officials]. The peace mission continues and even intensifies, so I suggest that European pro-war politicians buckle up and follow closely next week as well,” Szijjarto said in a video address on his social media.

The criticism Hungary faced this week indicated that the crisis in the EU is exacerbated by politicians who are providing Ukraine with weapons, considering sending troops there, and discussing nuclear weapons, he noted.

Hungary’s presidency of the EU Council will focus on the country’s peace mission, Szijjarto added, noting that Budapest is committed to ending the Ukrainian conflict and pulling Europe out of its “suffocating military crisis.”
