38 days remain until the election, and Péter Magyar has already shown his true face!
When it would be time to stand up for Hungarians or speak out against the pressure being put on our country, the president of the Tisza Party chooses silence.
He remained silent both about the Hungarian prisoners of war who were brought home yesterday and about the oil pipeline that the Ukrainians have shut down.
Why could that be? Unfortunately, the answer seems obvious: he represents Ukrainian interests rather than Hungarian ones.
For us, however, Hungary always comes first, which is why in April the only safe choice is Fidesz.
At least it is not a “pig in a poke.” There are still 38 days left until the election, yet we can already see which side Péter Magyar stands on.
Yesterday it was fantastic news that two Hungarian prisoners of war were brought home from Russia by Péter Szijjártó — Hungarian people who had effectively been sent into a meat grinder through forced conscription by the Ukrainians.
And what does Péter Magyar do during all this? The usual: he stays silent. When it would be appropriate to welcome and support these Hungarian people who were brought home, he does not say a single word.
The other “beautiful move” from Péter Magyar is something everyone has probably noticed by now. In recent weeks he has been continuously silent while more and more evidence emerges day after day suggesting that the Ukrainians are deliberately refusing to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline, thereby trying to pressure Hungary.
After this, I think no one should have any doubt about whether Péter Magyar stands on the Ukrainian side or on the Hungarian side.
