'Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski has questioned
why Hungary needs to be a member of the EU and NATO following recent criticism
of Poland by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Source: Bartoszewski, cited by European Pravda with reference to the РАР news
agency
Details: Bartoszewski stressed that unlike Orbán, Poland has not done
business with Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, "because
it was an attack on Poland, on the US, on the EU and on NATO".
He said Orbán’s speech had drawn very negative comments from the US Embassy in
Budapest.
Quote: "I don’t really understand why Hungary wants to remain a member of
organisations it doesn’t like that much and which supposedly treat it so badly.
Why doesn’t he [Orbán – ed.] just create an alliance with Putin and other
similar authoritarian states?
This is on the principle that if you don’t want to be a member of a club, you
can always leave. This is certainly an anti-European, anti-Ukrainian,
anti-Polish policy [of Hungary – ed.] at the moment."
More details: Bartoszewski noted that Hungary is also blocking €467 million
from the European Peace Facility (EPF) that the EU has allocated to Poland to
compensate for military equipment that Poland has provided to Ukraine.'
