On Monday, Péter Szijjártó appointed the ambassadors of the five northern European countries in Budapest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because he said that his foreign ministers were spreading false news, they did not tell the truth when they wrote their support for the Secretary General. of the Council of Europe. Szijjártó kurucos came to him in a Facebook post for the Nordics, but the contested letter contains essentially nothing specific about Hungary, they only write that they share the concerns of the ET Secretary-General.

Hungarian is a nation of more than a thousand years, that does not ask for pathetically hypocritical custody. Neither Danish, Icelandic, Finnish, nor Norwegian, nor Swedish foreign ministers think they know better than Hungarians what is good for Hungarians. Feel free to trust us with this, the Hungarian people can decide what they want and what they don’t. And they should feel free to deal with their own things

– writes the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who recently carried out the most militant part of Hungarian diplomatic communication to the Hungarian public on Facebook. He begins his work as Szijjártó by saying that “this weekend does not end without spreading false news from the international liberal current.”

It turns out that he thinks five countries in northern Europe (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) this week delivered a letter of support to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe concerned about the Hungarian coronavirus law. It is not entirely clear whether Szijjártó considers this to be an important thing that could lead him to order ambassadors, as he also complains that “several of them have spoken separately (= spread rumors = did not tell the truth) about us,” but Since we are both talking about ambassadors from five countries, and no one has made a joint statement, however, it should be the first.

According to Szijjártó, the foreign ministers of northern Europe spoke about building a dictatorship in Hungary, among other things. However, while the MTI reviewed the position of the Hungarian Foreign Minister in one hour, nothing was written about the contested demonstration in the north, nor was it shared by the Foreign Minister in terms of content, i.e. the strong Retaliation came back before the original to be refuted.

It is not easy, but at the end we find the letter that the Hungarian foreign relations received with such ferocity that he declared that the joint text of five foreign ministers was a liberal pseudo-diffusion. In a joint letter a few days ago, representatives of Northern European countries assured the Croatian Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejčinović Burić, that she supported the Hungarian coronavirus law in several cases, one of which was on Hungarian law .

Among the background, the Croatian Secretary General of the European Council warned the Hungarian government in late March that the measures taken by the Member States in the epidemic situation must also comply with international standards. “An unspecified and uncontrolled emergency does not guarantee respect for the principles of democracy and that emergency measures that restrict fundamental human rights are strictly proportional to the threat to be overcome,” said the Secretary General, to whom Orbán replied that ” If you cannot help us in the current crisis, at least avoid obstructing our defense efforts. ”

Therefore, the group has a precedent, and Northern European foreign ministers have once again risen in diplomatic language from Burić’s point of view. “We also welcome the letter written to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on March 24 and share the concerns expressed in it. The rule of law must prevail even in an emergency. From now on, we fully support your reminder to all of our Member States that the measures taken by Member States in the current extraordinary circumstances due to the epidemic must comply with national constitutions and international standards, and must respect democratic principles. They will be proportional and limited in time. “

Due to the dissemination of the joint letter, that is, the international liberal mainstream, the five ambassadors will appear in Hungarian foreign affairs on Monday, the convocation, which is one of the official diplomatic protests.
