'What is Going on in Hungary is Not Conservatism, it's Corruption' - Former US Ambassador

• 27 Feb 2025 3:34 PM

Former US ambassador David Pressman's attempt to "lecture" Hungary is "pathetic", Zoltan Kovacs, the state secretary for international communication and relations, said, adding that US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have exposed "probably the biggest corruption network of our age".

Kovacs said on Facebook "the liberal, woke Democrats' procurator was the dealer for USAID’s billions in Hungary, overseeing money flows in a global political corruption network - probably the biggest corruption scandal of our age. Donald Trump and Elon Musk exposed this cabal — and now he lectures us on corruption? Pathetic..."

Kovacs noted that Pressman said in an interview that "What is going on in Hungary is not conservatism, it's corruption."
