FM Szijjártó happily laughing with Russian FM Lavrov on the day of Navalny’s burial
Change language:
The two foreign ministers met in Antalya, Türkiye, on an international diplomacy forum and the Hungarian foreign minister was seated near his Russian counterpart. According to the video Szijjártó shared, they were having a good time by the table.
A Hungarian left-leaning media outlet, telex.hu, immediately connected the friendly chat with the fact that Alexei Navalny, who died in a Russian prison under uncleared circumstances, was buried yesterday. The Russian police and authorities prepared carefully for the event. A Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, even threatened the partakers. Even so, crowds bid farewell to the late Russian opposition politician whose name President Putin never mentioned.
On Monday, the Hungarian leftist opposition commemorated Navalny by standing up in the parliament for one minute. However, PM Viktor Orbán and other leaders of Fidesz made it clear that they think about the Russian politician in another way. Orbán said Navalny was a Chauvinist, so he does not deserve respect. We detailed that statement in THIS article.
Telex.hu asked the Hungarian foreign ministry whether Norbert Konkoly, Hungary’s ambassador in Moscow, took part in the funeral. They have not received an answer yet.
Here is the video titled the zeroth condition of peace is discussion:
Bulgaria, Türkiye reliable transit route
Bulgaria and Türkiye will remain a reliable transit route for gas deliveries to Hungary ensuring the country’s energy security, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Friday, after holding bilateral talks with the Bulgarian and Turkish presidents on the sidelines of the Diplomacy Forum in Antalya on Friday.
Similes cum similibus congregantur…
The article may also be named “Mr. X was laughing with Mr. Z on the 1st of March”. The whole World should have stopped smiling and should have begun mourning on that day?
The point is that the regime and its actions are undeniably being legitimized by Mr. Szijjártó.
No Politician would say anything remotely contentious to any of Mr. Putin’s crew. And then there are the actions – speaking louder than words.
Just the way Mr. Putin and co like it.
