Oana Țoiu invited the future foreign minister of Hungary to Romania. Details from Monday night's discussion
The head of Romanian diplomacy, Oana Țoiu, announced that she called her future counterpart from Budapest, Anita Orban, on Monday evening, and says that the dialogue “focused on a new approach to Hungary's foreign policy, based on mutual respect”.
Oana Țoiu specified that she contacted Anita Orban to congratulate her on the victory achieved by the Tisza party in the parliamentary elections that took place on Sunday in Hungary.
“It was a first official contact with a representative of the future neighboring Government, an occasion on which we shared the joy of this historic moment of change. I conveyed to him my admiration for the exemplary mobilization of the Hungarian people and ethnic Hungarians, as well as his team for a campaign built authentically, among the people”, wrote the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on Monday evening, in a post on Facebook.
Țoiu believes that the result of Sunday's election, as a result of which Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his party, Fidesz, will lose the government in Hungary after 16 years, “proved that no matter how great the control of some politicians over the power systems, it is not enough to keep it indefinitely”.
“The power of the citizens who choose to demand a better future by voting is sovereign, and Anita emphasized, repeatedly, that yesterday's election was a clear one: a change of regime”, added Oana Țoiu.
