Let’s meet on March 15 at the LARGEST Peace March! ❗️🇭🇺💪🏻
In recent weeks, unprecedented events have taken place. The President of Ukraine first attempted to blackmail Hungary and then openly threatened our country.
President Zelensky is demanding that Hungary join the financing of the war, approve Ukraine’s fast-tracked accession to the EU, and permanently give up cheap Russian energy.
These demands go against Hungary’s interests! We do not want to go to war, we do not want to spend Hungarian taxpayers’ money on Ukraine, and we do not want to pay higher utility and fuel prices.
Meanwhile, a war not seen for decades has also broken out in the Middle East, threatening all of Europe with an even more severe migration and energy crisis.
In such a situation, it is even more unacceptable that President Zelensky has shut down the Druzhba pipeline, which is crucial for Hungary, threatened the Hungarian Prime Minister with a Ukrainian military action, and declared that he wants to see a pro-Ukrainian government in power in our country.
All of this is an unprecedented attack against Hungary’s sovereignty! Hungary cannot be blackmailed or intimidated! We reject the Ukrainian demands, we will defend Hungary’s interests, and we will break the Ukrainian oil blockade.
For us, Hungary’s peace comes first!
Let us stand together for Hungary at the Peace March on March 15! 🇭🇺💪🏻
