Hungary and Hungarians are clearly friends of Ukraine, while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a henchman of Russian President Vladimir Putin. About this in an interview with ZN. UA said the leader of the parliamentary opposition party Momentum Ferenc Gelencher, with whom Vladimir Kravchenko spoke.

“Hungarians and Hungary are not the same as Orban. Hungary and Hungarians are unequivocally friends of Ukraine, and Orban is unambiguously Putin's henchman. Given that the ruling coalition controls most of the media and spends huge amounts of money on propaganda, it basically sets the agenda in the information space of my country. There was a time when Russia Today narratives were relayed in the Hungarian media, when opinions were expressed that Ukraine was not even a state,” Gelencher said..

Despite this, according to the opposition politician, the Hungarian society is in solidarity. Gelencher noted that when Ukrainian refugees arrived in Hungary, a lot of people and public organizations helped them.

“Because many people remember 1956,” said Gelencher.

He added that three-quarters of Hungarian society is very strongly pro-European. And, despite the fact that Orban sometimes tries to raise the question of “is it necessary to be a member of the EU and NATO? ”, Gelencher does not consider it realistic that these issues will ever actually be discussed.

“Because society is too committed to its country's membership in the EU and NATO. But the person who is loyal only to himself has no allies,” the politician added..

Ferenc Gelencher believes that today Hungary has become a Trojan horse of the Russian Federation and China in the EU and NATO. According to him, it is very important to understand that in Hungary, foreign policy is, first of all, domestic policy.. That is, if there are economic difficulties in the country, and the leadership of the state is incompetent, then it is easiest to find an external enemy in this situation and direct the focus of society's dissatisfaction to him. Indeed, as Gelencher noted, in Hungary, escalation plays the role of consolidation.
