– I am glad that this part of Europe shows that we are not doomed to authoritarian rule – said Donald Tusk, commenting on the results of the elections in Hungary. Prime Minister Tusk announced that he had talked to the leader of the opposition Tisza party, Peter Magyar, and congratulated him on his election victory.
— We talked for a while about his visit to Warsaw. As you know, he chose Warsaw as his first visit a long time ago for quite obvious reasons. I think our relations will be absolutely unique, said the head of the Polish government.
Donald Tusk slams the president and chairman of PiS
— Everyone was afraid that there was this trend of (…) authoritarian corrupt regimes. No, that's not the case. First Warsaw, then Bucharest, Chisinau, now Budapest. I am glad that this part of Europe shows that we are not doomed to corrupt and authoritarian governments, because Victor Orban's government has unfortunately become so after many years of rule, said the Polish Prime Minister.
He added that “all possible powers, including President Karol Nawrocki and PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński, conspired against Magyar and his party.”
Prime Minister Tusk recalled that Orban's government blocked the EU loan for Ukraine. As he emphasized, the victory of the opposition party of Tisza and Peter Magyar will be a breakthrough in this matter and will bring practical consequences for Kiev.
The head of the Polish government, when asked whether he had talked to Peter Magyar about PiS politicians and former ministers – Zbigniew Ziobro and Marcin Romanowski, who were granted asylum in Hungary by Prime Minister Orban's government – revealed that he had talked about them before the elections. — I hope to say to these two gentlemen: “Welcome to Poland,” Tusk added.
