Brussels prefers outsider Kiev to member Budapest.
As the Hungary-Ukraine crisis threatens to get out of control, the EU says one thing, but its actions signal another.
Case in point: we have reported at TGP how Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky has casually threatened the life of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, as you can read in WATCH: Zelensky Casually Threatens to Unleash Ukrainian Military on Hungary’s Viktor Orbán for Blocking €90 billion EU Aid.
So, yesterday, the EU protested Zelensky’s words.
But who, you may ask, has rebuked the Kiev regime leader’s words? Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen? No. Her spokesperson? No.
They assigned the task to the deputy spokesman – and that’s all you need to know about that.
The EU really supports outsider Ukraine over member Hungary – it’s that simple.
In the words of the Hungarian Foreign Minister:
Politico reported:
“’Specifically in relation to the comments made by President Zelenskyy, we are very clear as the European Commission that that type of language is not acceptable. There must not be threats against EU member states’, Commission deputy chief spokesperson Olof Gill told reporters Friday, in a rare condemnation of the leader in Kyiv.
Tensions between Ukraine and Hungary have escalated in recent weeks as Budapest continues to veto a €90 billion loan package for Kyiv. Orbán’s core complaint remains the halt of Russian oil flowing through the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, which Budapest believes Kyiv has deliberately shut off. Ukraine denies Orbán’s allegation, saying the pipe was severely damaged by a Russian drone attack in January.”
The Euronews headline is even clearer as it says: ‘Brussels urges Orbán and Zelenskyy to ‘dial down escalatory rhetoric’ over Druzhba’.
“The European Commission has publicly urged both Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to immediately ‘dial down’ their ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ over the Druzhba pipeline, which has pitted the two leaders in a head-to-head confrontation without precedent.”
Can you see? Non-member state threatens the life of a member state’s head of government, and they criticize both for ‘inflammatory rhetoric’.
