#Hungary’s top diplomat visited #Belarus on Wednesday for talks on expanding ties despite the #EUs sanctions against the country.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter #Szijjártó declared that “our position is clear: the fewer sanctions, the more cooperation!”
While saying that “sanctions don’t work,” Szijjártó noted, however, that Hungary was “increasing economic cooperation with Belarus in areas not affected by sanctions.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán on Wednesday called for a change of leadership in #Brussels as he blasted the #EUs policies on migration and #Ukraine.
Orbán is bidding to tilt the EU in his direction after June’s European election, for which polls currently forecast a right-wing surge. A rightward swing could drastically shift EU policies on key issues from climate to the war in Ukraine.
