Budapest (MTI) – Colleen Bradley Bell, the new US ambassador to Hungary, presented her credentials to President Janos Ader on Wednesday.
Following the ceremony in the president’s Sandor Palace office, Ader hosted a formal lunch to the new ambassador.
Bell arrived in Budapest to take up her post on Monday.
She posted a short welcome message on YouTube on Wednesday.
“I look forward to working together to pursue our common goals in regional security, stability in the Balkans, energy independence and the promotion of democracy in Europe’s east,” Bell said.
In her message, the ambassador called Hungary a strong ally of the United States.
Clearly a snub on the Hungarian people the US has sent someone without any experience other than television, zero experience with Eastern European culture (much less ours), no language skill, and up until recently never heard of us.
This is likely due to Orbans socio diktator policiesand his relationship towards Russia, rather than EU Interests.
Her address is clearly I.dicative of her lack of knowledge beyond the brochure she was given
