Brussels is pushing for regime change in Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia due to their pro-peace stance, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has claimed
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has accused the European Union of attempting to topple the governments of Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia for prioritizing national interests over alignment with Brussels.
He made the comments in a Facebook post on Thursday after phone calls with Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar and Serbian top diplomat Marko Duric. He said they agreed to strengthen their stance on sovereignty and pledged mutual solidarity amid what they described as growing external pressure.
”Brussels has ceased to be a factor in world politics. The fact that Europe has been excluded from the Alaska talks proves it,” he wrote, referring to the Friday meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukraine conflict.
Kiev’s backers in Europe have repeatedly called to be included in any talks involving Russia, Ukraine, and the US, insisting that “a European power” should be “in the room” to guarantee the security interests of Kiev and the EU are “safeguarded in Alaska.” Unlike the EU, which continues to support Ukraine’s war effort, Szijjarto said Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia have prioritized national interests and resisted pressure from Brussels, favoring peace talks over military involvement.
”This obviously frustrates the mainstream liberal political leaders, and as a result, the pressure is increasing on governments that are supporting peace, following national interests, and not subordinating to Brussels,” he said.
He said it’s “clearer than daylight” that “external intervention experiments to destabilize and overthrow governments are taking place in Central Europe against the patriot Slovak, Hungarian, and Serbian governments.”
Szijjarto criticized recent polling in Slovakia, which suggested citizens “only trust revolution.” He also accused Brussels of trying to undermine Hungary’s elected leadership by supporting the opposition Tisza Party. He also referenced recent clashes between protesters and police in Serbia, implying that external forces were stirring unrest to destabilize the government.
Szijjarto said these “are all different chapters of the same scenario in Brussels: they want to clean up the peace-party, patriot, national-interest governments,” aiming to replace them with puppet governments so Brussels “can get a seat.”
