The Kremlin did not congratulate Magyar on his victory and called Hungary an unfriendly country
The Kremlin has stated that it will not congratulate Péter Magyar on his victory in Hungary’s parliamentary elections.
This was announced by Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
According to him, Hungary is currently considered an “unfriendly country,” but Moscow hopes to continue “pragmatic contacts” with the new leadership.
Peskov noted that Russia “respects the choice of the Hungarian people” and is awaiting the new government’s next steps.
He also recalled that Magyar had previously expressed his readiness to negotiate with Russia, which, according to the Kremlin, could be beneficial for both sides.
The Kremlin added that it is interested in “good relations” with Hungary, as well as with other European countries.
As a reminder, according to the results of 98.93% of the votes counted, the Fidesz party won 69.35% of the vote. This gives the opposition 138 seats in parliament, allowing it to form a constitutional majority on its own.
Trump declined to comment on the defeat of Orbán’s ally in the Hungarian elections.
