Viktor Orban, attacked by the leader of the Hungarian opposition for the support initially shown to Simion: “He just betrayed the Hungarians outside the borders.”
Peter Magyar, the leader of the Tisza Party, considered with great chances in the future parliamentary elections in Hungary, harshly criticized Viktor Orban for the message in which he agreed with a statement by George Simion made at the last presidential debate on “Christian Europe, Europe”
“Viktor Orbán had just betrayed the Hungarians outside the borders. In a truly shocking gesture, a message of support from the Tihany Abbey, a thousand years old, to the candidate at the Romanian Presidency George Simion, a well-known extremist for hatred of the Hungarians, who in the past, has desecrated the Hungarians,” Magyar, in a Facebook post.
“They gather their votes, then betray them”
Magyar accuses the head of the Budapest government of asking for the votes of the Hungarians outside the national borders, and then to ally with anti-Hungarians in neighboring countries.
“Viktor Orbán is now with the Hungarians from Transylvania, Partium and the Szekler Land what he did before with our nationals from Transcarpathia and Voivodina: they gather their votes, then betray them with their heads with anti-Hungarians, while they continue to lie about sovereignty and Christianity,” the party said.
Magyar recalls that Orban's position is in contradiction with the messages that the leaders of the Hungarian community in Transylvania have addressed to the Transylvanian Hungarians regarding the vote for the second round of the presidential elections in Romania.
“Orbán is not even interested in the fact that the political forces representing the Hungarian community in Romania, as well as the church leaders, have urged the support of that candidate to defend the Hungarian interests – as opposed to the former legionary George Simion (…) No Always a priority.
The statements made by George Simion about “Europe of the Nations” in the presidential debate on Thursday night were quoted by the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a speech held on Friday who was published on the official account of X.
“Yesterday, during the presidential debate in Romania, Hungary was mentioned on the subject of Christianity. One of the candidates, Mr. Simion, said the following and quotes” now is the time for Europe, a Christian Europe, in which we will fight for our right to be European citizens. “
Orban has changed his mind after a discussion with Kelemen Hunor
The president of the UDMR, Kelemen Hunor, sent a firm anti-symbol and pro-nicușor Dan, on Saturday, in contradiction with Orban's speech at Abia Tihany.
After initially seeming to support George Simion, Viktor Orban spoke on the phone with Kelemen Hunor and reached another conclusion: “We collaborate to promote the life and existence of Hungarians in Transylvania”
“Anyone who does not know who George Simion is, can watch the film about the golden ascension. Watch Simion's parliamentary speeches. Watch the verbal and physical violence that he has manifested several times as a member of the opposition in the Parliament. The Hungarian families in Transylvania should be safe, the most important thing is for our institutions to our identity, He is a Christian, he is a charlatan, in each nerve he represents the principle that the Hungarians do not take place in Romania ”, reports the president of UDMR, Kelemen Hunor, in a video message broadcast on Saturday.
He tells the Hungarians not to forget that “Simion danced on the graves of our grandparents” in the Cemetery at Valea Uzului, referring to the 2019 conflict.
One day after he understood that he supports George Simion in the presidential elections in Romania, the Hungarian prime minister seems to have changed his mind. It gives the UDMR credit, a formation that supports Nicușor Dan in the second round, from May 18th.
“This afternoon, we had a conversation with Kelemen Hunor, the president of the UDMR, on the phone. I was clear: we do not want to influence Hungary in any way the presidential elections in Romania. And the existence of the Hungarians from Transylvania, ”Orban wrote on Facebook.
Magyar's center-right party entered the Hungarian politics last year, becoming the most serious challenge for Orban since taking power in 2010. Magyar's popularity is increasing, and in some recent tisza surveys it has exceeded Orban's Fidesz Party.
