Russian Envoy Warns EU Aims To Break Orbán at the Polls for Defending National Interest

The European Union may target Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to prevent his party from winning the upcoming April 12 parliamentary elections, is a warning https://tass.com/politics/2099631">given recently by Rodion Miroshnik, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large on Kiev’s War Crimes. “If everything goes according to the standards of normal electoral law, according to established traditions, then I do not think that the current leadership of Hungary, which is so rigidly defending its interests, will have any problems. But if they start to break him, without observing any norms at all, then predictions become very difficult,” Miroshnik told TASS. “We saw the situation in France, we saw the situation in Moldova, we saw the situation in Germany during the polls. Either people die right on the eve of voting, or the main competitor is imprisoned, or the main opponent, the candidate for the elections, is removed from the race. With such methods, it is certainly extremely difficult to predict.”

Asserting that Orbán knows what is in the nation’s interest, Miroshnik said: ‘'He clearly understands that for Hungary, Russian energy supplies are to a large extent the basis of the economy, the basis of Hungary’s competitiveness, its ability to compete in the huge global markets, in which it will simply be crushed without noticing, without remembering that there was such a country. This is why any normal leader should protect the interests of his country. Unless, of course, he is externally appointed and acts in the interests of some global groups, companies, or associations.
