Orbán goes all in: secret deal with Moscow surfaces ahead of elections.
Politico has revealed a secret agreement between Hungary and Russia, signed back in December.
The 12-point plan was coordinated by Szijjártó and Lavrov. The document covers almost everything: Energy, trade, education, and culture.
It also includes discussions about allowing Russian companies into projects inside Hungary and restoring trade that declined due to EU sanctions.
Hungary is ready to expand Russian language education, recognize diplomas, and launch cultural and educational exchanges. All of this is seen as part of the Kremlin’s so-called soft power strategy.
The information surfaced just days before the elections, where Orbán is facing a real risk of losing for the first time in years.
Earlier, the Hungarian prime minister had openly flattered Putin, comparing him to a lion and himself to a mouse, promising to do everything possible to help Moscow.

The fact that these traitors can only leave the EU voluntarily based on some article introduced nearly 20 years ago is ridiculous, and it really highlights some of the downsides of rigid EU bureaucracy. They need to bring in a new law that allows for the expulsion of member states if they actively work to undermine the union.

Whats more pathetic than orban is hungarians voting for him and the ones who just let this happen to their own country.

The Orbán Crime Syndicate should be labeled as a foreign agent in Putin’s service and the EU must cut ties to Hungary until it is fully disbanded.

The same Hungary, where Vance is currently preaching for Orban?

Closer ties? For anything closer than it is already, putin would have to wear orban as a suit.

Is Russia playing both sides now – with the U.S?
Aren’t they also aiding Iran too with weapons??? Or is that Ukraine?

I always ask myself what these Russian assets are hetting out of selling their own countries out? Probably money in some offshore bank account, but other than that? Russia has surprisingly little to offen to countries that bow to its will. Russia obviously has an abundance of natural resources but is struggling to get them to market as is, so preferential treatment on that issue seems difficult. Money for economic development is obviuosly not going to happen, given that Russia is financially strained. Defense cooperation is also difficult, since Russia is stretched in that regard as well. What in the world are the people who vote for these Russian assets even thinking that their country could ever get out of subservience to Russia that they couldn’t get out of cooperation with European partners?

My family had to flee Hungary because of Russia back in the 50’s.. I just can’t imagine how short the memories of the general population are in allowing this to happen.

Preparing for „peaceful“ annexation and nothing less than that.

Is this even allowed by NATO or at a minimum by the intent of having NATO?
