FM Szijjártó: if a pro-peace, pro-family government wins the election, Brussels sees it as the end of democracy

Georgia is “the best example for the hypocrisy and double standards of Brussels,” Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said after a joint Hungary-Georgia government meeting in Budapest on Wednesday.

Szijjártó about Brussels attacks

Brussels “launches the same attacks against Georgia as against Hungary, therefore the two countries will fight against that pressure together,” the minister said.

Pro-peace and pro-family government

“When a patriotic, pro-peace and pro-family government wins the election, they will see it as the end of the world or at least the end of democracy, whereas if a liberal, pro-war, gender propagandist party wins, they will say democracy is in the best shape it’s ever been,” Szijjártó said.

“We stand up for Georgia’s sovereignty, we support that it should be only the Georgians that determine Georgia’s future,” he said.

“They want us to give up our pro-peace position and they want to push Hungary into the war; they want us to give up the protection of families and they want to prevent us from protecting our children from gender propaganda, and they want us to accept a puppet government forced unto us from abroad … they want to reach the very same goals in Georgia,” Szijjártó said.

Sovereignty fight

“We will insist on retaining our pro-peace position, we will protect our children and ourselves, and the sovereign right for Hungarians to determine Hungary’s future,” he said.

“In our fight for sovereignty we stand by our Georgian friends and fight for sovereignty together … Brussels seeks to prolong the war and they exert pressure on Hungary and on Georgia, too. But we will fight for ourselves,” the minister said.
