Kovacs: War or peace at stake in EP election

He said the Vietnam and Cambodian wars started when French military experts were sent out to these countries, and now French trainers “are going to Ukraine”.

Also, when it came to war, a similar situation prevailed as in 2015 in relation to migration, he said, citing a former Economist journalist who told him that everything the Hungarian government had predicted about migration in 2015 was now happening in Britain.

“London has fallen, there’ll be a general election on July 4, there’s an Islamist organisation, and the country’s culture is changing,” Kovacs said, adding that much the same was true in Germany and France and everywhere illegal migration was prevalent.

From the outset the Hungarian government has promoted peace and an immediate ceasefire, while the West had “pushed” Ukraine into a “deadly war”, he said, adding that this could have been prevented.
