Viktor Orban accused the Hungarian authorities of carrying out anti-Russian instructions from Brussels

BUDAPEST, September 14 - RIA Novosti. The Hungarian authorities are making anti-Russian statements at the direction of Brussels and contrary to national interests, said former Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

In August, the new Hungarian government of Peter Magyar, for the first time since the elections, called Russia a “threat” in a document for the country’s delegation at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

“We don’t need a common (with Brussels - ed.) foreign policy towards Russia. We don’t want to fight with the Russians. The idea of ​​declaring Russia a country that poses a threat to Hungary, despite the fact that there is a system of cooperation between us, is in whose interests? It is quite obvious that it is not in the interests of the Hungarians. All these instructions come one after another from Brussels,” Orban said on HirTV.

According to him, “Brussels’ language is crafty” and the expression “common foreign policy” actually hides “refusal of independence”, since the foreign policy interests of different European countries do not coincide.
