Between Trump and Putin. What role does the Hungarian premiere try on Victor Orban and whether it will bring this peace

In Europe, the passions around the international diplomatic activity of the Prime Minister of the Presiding in the EU of Hungary do not subside. As for what Victor Orban, as the leader of a small country, gained significant geopolitical weight, found out the focus. Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in his report to the Chairman of the Euro Council, Charles Michel, stated that Europe needs to restore direct diplomatic contacts with Russia.

In addition, he said, the US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump can be a mediator in establishing peace because "the intensity of conflict will increase in the near future. " "During my talks with Donald Trump, I came to the conclusion that foreign policy will play only a minor role in his further campaign. Therefore, we cannot expect any peaceful initiatives from him before the election.

However, I can say that soon after my victory is He will not wait for his inauguration, but will be ready to be a mediator in establishing peace. The most important regional player, Victor Orban calls Turkey, and the further development of the Russian-Ukrainian war, according to the Hungarian leader, can be influenced by the EU, the USA and China. Viktor Orban emphasizes that the European Union needs to start negotiations with Beijing regarding the next peace conference against Ukraine.

He believes that the EU and the United States have lost recognition of the global south through a position on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Council Charles Michel prepared a message in response to Orban, which was published by the Euractiv portal. Mr. Michelle noted that he "accepted ideas and suggestions", but noted: "Russia is an aggressor, and Ukraine is a victim that realizes its legal right to self -defense.

" The Chairman of the Council also stressed that Budapest's efforts in this context are "void" because no mandate on behalf of the EU was issued. In early July, Victor Orban, we will remind, within the framework of the "peace mission" made a visit to Kiev, Moscow, Beijing and Washington. As a result of the trips, he made a proposal to the European Council to develop new approaches to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

However, members of the European Parliament and the European Commission in Unison say that the Hungarian Prime Minister has no mandate for no "peace missions". Victor Orban made a new attempt to persuade world leaders on his side on Thursday, July 18 at the British Summit of the European Political Community (EPN). However, President Zelensky, who also participated in this event, warned the Hungarian colleague "against resolving issues on other people's backs".

Mr Orban's diplomatic activity is also felt among EU legislative and executive representatives. In particular, the day before it became known about the letter 63 of the MEP, which was sent to the Head of the European Parliament Roberti Matzoli, the chairman of the Euro Council Charles Michelle and the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von Der Layen, which, by the way, on Thursday, July 18, was re -elected to this position. 5 years.

The authors of the letter say that Mr Orban "caused significant harm, using the role of the chairman of the EU Council and abusing it. " The legislators assured that the Hungarian leader had no mandate for no "peace missions". "It not only exceeds its powers when it claims to represent the EU in general, but also actively implements a political agenda, which contradicts the common positions of the European Union. He seeks to undermine existing EU decisions.

It cannot European legislators are indignant. They require EU leadership to take administrative measures in this connection: deprived Hungary's vote in the European Council - the highest political body of the EU, which includes heads of state and governments. Meanwhile, the experts with whom the focus spoke, believe that it is unlikely that the EU de facto will impose any stringent restrictions on Budapest.

"In fact, all this international" peacekeeping "activity of Orban is somewhat surprising because it really has not received the relevant mandate from Ukraine or the European Union. Therefore, it is not necessary to speak about some significant geopolitical role of Mr Orban. What is quite logical about it. . According to the expert, Mr Orban launched a great international diplomatic activity for several reasons. "First, Hungary is a small country that tries to find some additional resources.

By the way, while EU countries reduce dependence on Russian energy resources, Budapest on the contrary-increased the number of gas and oil purchases from the Russian Federation. Also, Orban is trying to get "Cream" and from the Chinese direction. Hara.

According to the expert, Viktor Orban is currently trying to find a new role and receive additional dividends and preferences by the Russian Federation for helping to achieve her strategic political goals that "does not lie in the field of interests of Ukraine", as well as the European community. in general. "Among other things, Orban, as a right populist, is an ideological opponent of most politicians representing both countries and European structures.

Actually, he is so well perceived and accepted from Trump. But again, declaring some peaceful initiative etc. , Orban tries to raise himself above his level, working together by solving his internal political and economic problems, "the political scientist emphasizes. In addition, according to Alexander Hari, no one has canceled Orban's desire, as well as his one -party students, in particular, at the expense of Ukraine.

"Actually, through regional ambitions of Hungarian power, we have a conflict against the background of Hungarian minorities in Ukraine. That is, Orban wants to solve its demographic and political problems at the expense of Ukrainian citizens of Hungarian origin. Of course, these are quite aggressive actions against Ukraine And not only, because under the Trianon agreement, Hungary has lost territory and now its minorities are in five European countries. Alexander Hara.

In turn, political scientist Oleg Posternak in conversation with focus notes the following: "First of all, it should be borne in mind that Orban represents the conservative far -right forces of Europe, and directly in Hungary he has significant electoral positions. Therefore, it is obvious that Orban wants to use the fact As a terminal of farming Europe. Brussels. " Thus, the expert states, the vast majority of what is currently doing in the Foreign Political Arena Orban, is dictated .

The political scientist believes that, trying, including his visits to Kiev, Moscow and Beijing, to achieve personal goals to look difficult in the EU's eyes, Orban, nevertheless, fulfills a certain mission. "This mission, which concerns, including the Russian-Ukrainian war, was authorized by the US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Orban reported in Kiev, Moscow and Beijing it-Trump-Trump-a position in Ukraine and other important issues," Oleg Posternak summarizes .

In turn, political scientist Igor Chalenko focuses, "Obviously, the conditions when Hungary heads the EU Council and Orban himself creates his Patriots for Europe in the European Parliament, allow the Hungarian prime minister to declare their international activity loudly. The other hand, the European Union did not give him the appropriate mandate.

Actually, in the European Union, according to the political scientist, on the one hand, they quarrel publicly orban, but on the other - real mechanisms for his "punishment" for diplomatic amateur under the EU brand are not used. "This is a plan for Europeans to communicate with a probable Trump administration in early 2025. Orban himself looks like a white crow itself today and pursues a policy similar to, say, so, a flexible multi -vector line of US State Secretary of State Henry Kissindgir.
