Government to continue ‘peace mission’, minister says

“It must have become apparent to everyone that the next six months will be a peace mission,” Peter Szijjarto said.

Hungary will do everything in its power to contribute to the end of the war and to broker peace, “after two and a half years of suffocating war crisis.”

The past week had also shown why the crisis was deepening in Europe, Szijjarto said. “Europe is full of pro-war politicians who have all surfaced this week, criticising the Hungarian government and prime minister for working for peace.”

Those politicians “have deepened the crisis with weapon deliveries, with [voicing] phantasies on sending land troops and about nuclear weapons,” he said.

“These attacks do not intimidate or discourage us, the peace mission will continue and even strengthen, and so I would like to ask pro-war politicians to buckle their seatbelts and pay attention next week too,” Szijjarto said.
