The Hungarian Prime Minister used the political crisis in Bulgaria for pro-Putin propaganda during his participation in the regular annual meeting with ethnic Hungarians living in Romania. On Saturday, he called in Bayeux Tusnad in Transylvania for the lifting of sanctions against Russia and peace talks in Ukraine, mainly between Washington and Moscow, and for the EU not to take sides, but to stand between Russia and Ukraine.
Listing his arguments, Viktor Orbán said: “Europe has a problem, an economic problem, but also a political one, as governments are falling like dominoes. Since the beginning of the war, the governments of Great Britain, Italy, Bulgaria and Estonia have fallen. And autumn has not yet come. “
In fact, he linked to Russia’s war against Ukraine processes in four countries that have completely different origins
In Bulgaria, the government was overthrown – at least apparently – not because of the sanctions or support for Ukraine, but because of purely internal interests; the vote of no confidence was due to a weak financial policy, while the country’s macroeconomic and debt situation is one of the best in the EU, and days later in the parliament, the opposition parties demanded nearly BGN 1 billion more for social spending in the budget.
The passions surrounding the “national betrayal” for Macedonia turned 180 degrees with the approval of the so-called a French proposal to unblock the start of negotiations for European membership of North Macedonia.
