Conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the man the European Union loves to hate.
He has said that the EU is the ‘bad contemporary parody of the Soviet Union’, accused it to try to ‘blackmail’ Hungary, but guaranteed that ‘there is not enough money in the world to force us to accept mass migration and to put our children in the hands of LGBTQ activists’.
Not only that, but he had tough words for the Liberal Polish government of Donald Tusk, saying that Poland’s Government and PM Tusk Were ‘Installed’ by the European Union To Topple the Previous Populist Leadership – And Now Budapest Is the New Target.
So, it’s not very surprising that Poland has decided not to invite Hungary’s ambassador to an event on Friday launching Warsaw’s term in the rotating EU presidency.
This comes after Budapest gave asylum to a former conservative Polish minister who is under investigation over alleged misuse of public funds.
Reuters reported:
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was also not invited to the ceremony in Warsaw’s Grand Theatre, Deputy Minister for European Affairs Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka said.”
Tusk is furious that Hungary granted political asylum in December to Marcin Romanowski, a Polish former deputy justice minister detained as part of an investigation into ‘misuse of public funds’.
The president of a European rights assembly said Romanowski had immunity as a member of the body, so he was released.
“’When we invited guests to our gala almost a month ago, we invited the entire diplomatic corps’, Sobkowiak-Czarnecka said in televised comments on Friday.
‘But after the situation with minister Romanowski, Minister (of Foreign Affairs) Sikorski decided that the Hungarian ambassador is not a welcome guest in the theatre today’.”
Tusk and Portuguese President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, will give speeches at the ceremony that inaugurates Poland’s rotating presidency of the European Union for the next six months.
Hungary held the presidency during the second half of 2024, and Orbán used the office to try to promote a peace settlement in the War in Ukraine.
