The leader of the "Tisza" party and future Prime Minister of Hungary, Péter Magyar, stated that Russia poses a security threat to the European Union, and the policy of Viktor Orbán's previous government towards Moscow was erroneous. This was reported by the Hungarian publication 444, according to UNN.
During a press conference after winning the elections, Magyar answered a question about the risks to Europe from Russia.
I think so. We know the Russians. I'm not talking about the Russian people, but about the Russian bear. Europe must be ready for this
The politician also criticized the approach of the previous Hungarian government, hinting at the activities of Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.
The path of the previous Hungarian government is not viable. Confidential information of allies should not be disclosed
Separately, he spoke about the internal challenges of the European Union. In his opinion, European leaders should abandon politically correct rhetoric and respond more to the real fears of citizens.
Among such problems, Magyar named the migration crisis, which, according to him, the EU had been addressing incorrectly for a long time. He stated that the problem should have been eliminated in the countries of origin of migrants, rather than reacting after people had already arrived in Europe.
The politician also noted that, in his opinion, the people of Europe do not seek the creation of a "United States of Europe," but want strong national states within the European Union.
