MEP Gyöngyösi: How Orbán relates to war crimes

The International Criminal Court has recently issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin on account of the mass deportation of Ukrainian children. According to international law, the case of genocide may apply even without the commission of actual murders – if somebody commits acts that render the survival of a certain population impossible. Such acts include the unlawful deportation of children who are then raised in a different culture.

While posing to the West as the guardian of the traditional family, Fidesz downplays the suffering of the Ukrainians and the kidnapping of their children, and suggests that Kyiv should surrender to the Russian aggressor and accept a peace treaty under Russia’s terms.

Ever since the Ukraine war broke out, Fidesz has been demonstrating this outrageously cynical attitude. Not only does this policy isolate Hungary from the world, it is morally indefensible, too.

I wonder how long it takes for the western right-wing politicians who seem to believe Orbán is the defender of families and traditional values to finally understand the real nature of the Fidesz regime.
