FM Szijjártó: Ukraine makes it hard for Hungary to accept sanctions
Change language:
It is “scandalous” that Ukraine has placed OTP Bank on its list of “international sponsors of war”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Stockholm on Friday, adding that until that is withdrawn, it will be “very difficult” for the Hungarian government to negotiate about further sanctions.
It is “outrageous” that while Hungary is participating in the programme under which the European Union supports Ukraine with one and a half billion euros per month, the Ukrainian anti-corruption agency has placed the OTP Group on its list of “international sponsors of war” because the financial institution is still present in Russia, the foreign ministry cited Szijjártó as saying, in a statement.
“OTP is Hungary’s biggest bank. OTP has not violated any international laws. Its operations fully comply with all kinds of expectations and legislation. Placing it on the list of international sponsors of war is unacceptable and scandalous,” the minister said on the sidelines of an informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers.
“Therefore I made it clear today that as long as OTP stays on this list, it will be very difficult for us to even enter into negotiations on the eleventh sanctions package, it will be very difficult for us to negotiate economic restrictions that require additional sacrifices,” Szijjártó said.
Szijjártó: Hungary committed to pro-peace stance despite EU’s ‘atmosphere of war’
Hungary is committed to its pro-peace stance even though the European Union remains dominated by an “atmosphere of war” and most member states want to continue providing military support to Ukraine, Szijjártó said in Stockholm on Friday.
Everyone is of the view that European weapons deliveries are having a positive effect on the war, which is why many argue for supplying even more weapons, Szijjártó said during a break in an informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers, according to a ministry statement.
OTP is giving advantageous loans to Russian soldiers who are killing Ukrainians. Szijjarto is a ball of slime.
Foreign Minister – Peter Szijjarto nearing the end of his Ministerial Senior Position, in the Orban Government of Hungary, using the word Scandalous bought me to fits of laughter.
Szijjarto – deep in the “inner sanctum” of the BLAMERS Club, that being the Orban Government.
The game plan as they descend deeper into the Nadir, that Orban is leading Hungary into, the “crippled” and “paralyzed” Government Orban leads, that the Foreign Minister continues to HIGHLIGHT and build on – using Blame and word usage such as Scandalous – APPALING.
Orbans Government is RIDDLED with Corruption that the 13 years he has been Prime Minister of Hungary, his second coming, he has been a Prime Minister, who has used, written into the DNA of his Government and the Fidesz Party, widely using SCANDLES in great numbers – that have had no FACTUAL relation to – Fact & Truth – but just used as a political tool, to CRUSH and build power for himself and his Government.
Peter Szijjarto keeps falling for the Two Card Trick – and continues to dig deeper – the cataclysmic MESS that the Orban Government has placed us in – Hungary.
