Madyar commented on the €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine
Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that he would not stand in the way of the €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine, as the decision has already been made. At the same time, he confirmed that Hungary would not participate in this financial program.
He made these remarks at a press conference with foreign media in Budapest.
Mátyás was responding to questions regarding the loan for Ukraine blocked by current Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
"I'm not sure what we're even talking about. Because in December, at the European Council meeting, Orbán voted that Hungary would not participate in this loan, and the European Council voted in favor of it. Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia are not participating in the 90-billion-euro loan, so it does not concern our country. That is how it was approved," he said.
The winner of the Hungarian elections promised to raise this issue in talks with European leaders.
"But personally, I agree that Hungary should not participate in this mechanism. Hungary is in a very difficult financial situation, and our task is to bring back the EU funds that belong to us. We cannot take on any more loans. But the decision was already made by the European Council in December, so I don’t know why we should raise this issue again,” Magyar noted.
He mentioned that Viktor Orbán has also changed his position too often
"We will try to be consistent and honest in our communication and will not change our position every six months," he stated.
As a reminder, Mádor has spoken out against Ukraine’s rapid accession to the EU.
Péter Mádor is the first cousin of the former president of Hungary and the grandson of a judge
