Hungary began its six-month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 1. And in less than two weeks, its presidency has already done a lot of damage.
The German Foreign Ministry announced this. Reuters reports.
Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban has caused controversy in recent days by going on a self-imposed “peace tour” that included visiting Russia and China after a trip to Kyiv, discussing immediate peace talks with the Russian dictator and the Chinese president to end the war.
Yesterday, July 11, Orban also met with Donald Trump in Florida.
“We have to see how Hungary’s presidency of the Council continues,” a German ministry spokesman said when asked how Berlin planned to respond to Orban’s recent diplomatic visits.
“We are now in the 12th day of Hungary’s presidency, and it has already done a lot of damage,” the speaker stressed.
Let us recall that the meeting between Orban and Trump, at which they, according to the Hungarian Prime Minister, discussed ways to achieve peace in Ukraine, took place at the Mar-a-Lago residence, located on the barrier island of Palm Beach in Florida. After the meeting, Orban shared “good news” on social media: supposedly, Trump is going to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. However, he did not specify how he intends to do this.
Trump also spoke about the meeting with Orban.
“Thank you, Victor. There must be PEACE, and soon. Too many people have died in a war that should never have happened!” Trump wrote on social media.
The EU said that Orban’s trip to Putin contradicts the EU’s internal treaties . Orban is being prepared for punishment.
Orban’s trip to Putin has caused six EU countries to boycott all ministerial meetings in the EU Council for the entire month of July. This period, as well as the number of countries that decide to ignore EU government meetings, may increase.

The EU will eject a lot of hot gasses over Hungary, but it will do precisely nothing about the crap hole or putin’s fat useful idiot. Like NATO and its nonstop flatulence about this and that, no one is taking the EU seriously anymore.
