Hungarian foreign minister urges peace in Ukraine in front of a Greater Hungary map

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, gave a speech in the Várkert Bazár (Castle Garden Bazaar) in Budapest on Monday, urging peace talks and a ceasefire in Ukraine. However, he did so in an unusual environment.

The Foreign Minister of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, said on Monday that NATO lives in a bubble. However, fortunately there is life outside the bubble, where Hungary’s position is overwhelmingly in favour, he added. This position is the “pro-peace” stance. And, according to Mr Szijjártó, the majority of EU and NATO member states are “pro-war” when it comes to Russia‘s war in Ukraine. “As long as we have this global majority, there is hope that this war can be brought to an end as soon as possible,” Szijjártó shared in a Facebook post.

Telex noticed that the foreign minister said all of this in front of a map of Greater Hungary – part of which now belongs to Ukraine. According to the news portal, this might give us an idea about what kind of peace the Hungarian foreign minister is urging.

“How elegant and pro-Ukrainian gesture it is to talk about peace and security in front of a map of a piece of Ukraine belonging to Hungary is for everyone to decide,” Telex concludes.
