No invitation has been received from the government, he replied. Péter Szijjártó on the ATV issue at a press conference today on who will represent Hungary at the inauguration of US President Biden.
However, the chancellor said that if they were well informed, the installation would be a more restrained event than usual due to the coronavirus.
We wrote earlier: Extraordinary security measures are being prepared for Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony in Washington on Wednesday. The greatest concern stems from the fact that on January 6, supporters of Donald Trump besieged the Capitol and several people were killed in the riots. The 25,000 armed soldiers of the National Guard will carry out the order on Wednesday when the new Democratic president is in office. They are preparing for the inauguration of the most assured presidency in American history to date – preparation is at least two and a half times higher this year compared to previous ceremonies.
At the same time, it is memorable that at the end of the US presidential campaign, the Orbán government was clearly in office. Donald trumpot supported him, and Szijjártó attacked him separately Joe bident, after the Democratic presidential candidate mentioned Hungary along with Poland among the totalitarian regimes. Hungary’s foreign affairs chief told Biden:
It would be good if you could answer the question of how you used your political influence for the benefit of your son and the business you run for your son, for the benefit of that business.
Péter Szijjártó already said about all this last week:
What happened in the fall was not that we suddenly thought of something and ran into one of the candidates in the US presidential election, but that one of the candidates positioned Hungary as an authoritarian state, which is a clear insult to the Hungarian people, the Hungarian nation. Obviously, this could not be left without a reaction. (…) I did not complain there, I only said that before he slanders the Central European countries and insults a Central European nation by configuring it as a dictatorship, it may be before it is approached with issues related to our region, that you should respond.
The Hungarian Foreign Minister added: “I would not overestimate all this. There was an election campaign in the United States where, apparently, in an overheated state of mind, we were not talked about in a way worthy of a millennial state, to which we responded. There has been, there will be, not only in relation to the Americans. “
Democrat Joe Bident, after defeating incumbent Republican President Donald Trump last fall, will now enter his presidency on January 20. Their plans were reported in our previous article.
