Opposition LMP considers “Russia’s growing influence” in Hungary to be “increasingly risky”, and has made proposals for Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, Örs Tetlák, a member of the party’s board, said on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Tetlák said that since 2010, Hungary had become one of the most important European allies of Putin’s Russia. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the government has even strengthened those ties, rather than loosening them, he insisted. Tetlák slammed ruling Fidesz for “vetoing sanctions on KGB agents”, destroyed cooperation with other countries of the Visegrád partnership, and supports Putin’s war by buying expensive and risky Russian energy.

He said Russian influence had reached such proportions that when the operation of the International Investment Bank was threatened, another covert organisation appeared immediately. Russian oligarchs also consider Hungary a safe place, Tetlák added. They set up companies here, with some of them barely concealing a Russian secret service connection. Yet, the government will not order an investigation, instead, it vetoes EU support for Ukraine “in a kind of cheap political blackmail”.

LMP proposes that the foreign minister should request from President Katalin Novák the documents that she received from the Polish president on how other countries have replaced Russian energy with alternative sources.

  1. Which ally can Hungary rely upon? EU ? Definitely no! Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Germany and Luxemburg spend their time slurring the country. Russia and China may be the only ally of Hungary presently. So, whom should Hungary support, reliable allies or hostile EU countries. EU countries just want to dominate the country and allow globalist to strip the country of its remaining wealth. The EU is rotten to the core.

  2. These Lefties and their Russia, Russian interference, Russian collusion, Russian influence, Russian this, Russian that. If you believe them, you can’t open a can of soup without a Putin spy popping out…*rolls eyes*

  3. Ors Tetlak states the obvious what everyone already knows. What he doesn’t state is that Fidesz and Orban are in bed with the Russians. Telling the government that Russia has too much influence isn’t going to make them change their policies. Hungary is too far gone down the path of intertwining itself with the Russians. This government sold Hungary’s soul to the Russian devil.
