Joint opposition held demonstration at Russian embassy in Budapest
Change language:
The united opposition held a demonstration in front of the Russian embassy in Budapest under the motto “Against Putin, for Ukraine” late on Thursday. Péter Márki-Zay, the prime ministerial candidate of the united opposition, called on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to drop his “see-saw policy”.
Márki-Zay said Hungary should fully support the European Union’s sanctions against Russia. He also demanded that the government should suspend the licencing procedure of the project to expand the Paks nuclear power plant and expel the International Investment Bank, which he called a “Russian spy bank”.
In addition, the politician called on Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to return an award recently received “for serving Russian interests”.
“Hungary’s place has been in western Europe, with Christian roots, since King Saint Stephen; the West is our ally, and we are members of NATO and the European Union,”
Márki-Zay said.
Ágnes Vadai, deputy leader of the Democratic Coalition, said that the government “should bear in mind that Hungarians stand for peace and Europe”. LMP co-leader Máté Kanász-Nagy said it was “shameful” that, although the prime minister had condemned the Russian attack, he also voiced support for “continuing business with Putin”. The Paks nuclear power plant upgrade project “should not be revised but dropped”, he insisted.
Boy that will show the Russians what for. Somehow or another I doubt a demonstration from the sausage coalition is going to instill fear in Russia or Putin. I think this demonstrates that Orbam is the right leader for Hungary not a bunch of EU globalist trash owned by Soros.
