Why is this important?
The US vice president visited Budapest a few days before the parliamentary elections in Hungary. JD Vance emphasized that the Hungarian people have the right to elect the authorities they consider good for themselves. — The Hungarian nation should ask itself not who is pro-American or pro-European, but who is pro-Hungarian, explained the US vice president.
— The pressure from Brussels is deplorable. The Hungarian nation has the right to sovereignty, said JD Vance. The politician assured that he believed in Orbán's victory, but also added that the US would cooperate with any Hungarian government.
Surprising words
US Vice President JD Vance said the two leaders who did the most to end the war in Ukraine were Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán. “This is a war that would not have happened if Donald Trump had been president four years ago,” he added.
During the press conference, politicians were also asked about possible influence on the elections from Ukraine. — Ukrainians have already blocked a gas pipeline that supplies gas to Hungary once. Now they are blocking our oil pipelines, Orbán said when asked about the events of recent weeks. He assured that if he wins the elections, he will force Ukrainians to unblock the transmission network.
— There are people in the Ukrainian system who supported Democrats. It didn't stop us, and it won't stop Prime Minister Orban either. It is in our common interest to end the war in Ukraine, said JD Vance.
