Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban named Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky among his adversaries who wished him to fail at parliamentary elections. The head of the government mentioned the Ukrainian leader alongside EU bureaucrats and a Hungarian-born American investor George Soros.
Talking about the election, the Hungarian prime minister noted that his Fidesz - Hungarian Civic Alliance party never had that many adversaries before. According to him, together with the domestic opposition, they included "left-wing forces from other countries, Brussels bureaucrats, all the money of the Soros empire, as well as international media outlets." "And in the end even the Ukrainian president," he said in a video address posted on Facebook (outlawed in Russia, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc. which is recognized as extremist in Russia) on Monday.
However, he stressed that Fidesz "has not only adversaries but also friends worldwide." "We warmly think about our American friends, Poles, Italians, Spaniards, Serbs, Slovaks and Austrians," he asserted.
Following the results of the Sunday election, the Fidesz party led by Orban together with its ally, the Christian Democratic People’s Party, received 135 out of 199 seats in the Hungarian National Assembly, the country’s unicameral parliament.
