US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a “nonsensical accusation” against Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on his Facebook.
Hungary’s supreme court has upheld the decision of the National Election Office, “meaning that I will remain Budapest’s mayor for the next five years”, Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony said.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the Western world, led by the United States, was trying to defeat Russia without getting directly involved in the conflict by “leaving it to the Ukrainians to fight the war”, once the Russian president, violating all principles of international law, had tried to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO.
The opposition Respect and Freedom (Tisza) Party’s priority is to “take our country back” from the government “which made Hungary the most corrupt and second poorest member state” in the European Union, Péter Magyar, the party’s deputy leader, said in Brussels.
