Russia’s ambassador today once again openly interfered in support of @PM_ViktorOrban’s corrupt government. His statement sounded less like something written in the Kremlin and more like something drafted in Viktor Orbán’s office — though perhaps the two are one and the same. It contained all the usual elements: attacks on Hungary’s true allies, Brussels-bashing, and more. The only thing missing was a reference to George Soros. Dear Mr. Ambassador, Hungary is a member of the European Union and NATO, and it will remain so — whether Russia and Viktor Orbán like it or not. The Hungarian people and the Hungarian economy need the 8 trillion forints in EU funds that we have not received so far because of Viktor Orbán’s corrupt governance. I once again call on you to refrain from openly or covertly attempting to influence the Hungarian elections. I would also like to emphasize that Viktor Orbán’s open support for Russia and his attacks on our country’s allies are in fact doing a great service to the Hungarian people by helping them make their decision on April 12 — and by greatly strengthening the chances of a two-thirds majority for the TISZA Party. Respectfully, Péter Magyar
