The competitor of the Hungarian Prime Minister has already accused American leaders of interfering in the elections in his country.
Five days before the parliamentary elections in Hungary, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance arrived in Budapest to meet with the country's current Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Vance also plans to deliver a speech on the 'fruitful partnership between the U.S. and Hungary,' as well as address issues concerning 'Europe and Ukraine.' The U.S. Vice President is accompanied by his wife, Usha Vance, who was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto at the airport.
Upon arrival, Vance accused the European Union of 'interfering in the elections' in Hungary. According to the Vice President, he hopes to 'send a signal to everyone, especially the bureaucrats in Brussels.' 'They have done everything possible to suppress the Hungarian people because they do not like a Prime Minister who truly defends the interests of the Hungarian people,' Vance believes.
Meanwhile, Peter Madjar, the leader of the opposition party 'Tisza,' which, according to polls, is ahead of Orban's party 'Fidesz,' viewed Vance's visit as interference in the Hungarian elections. 'This is our country. Hungarian history is not written in Washington, Moscow, or Brussels, but on the streets and squares of Hungary,' Madjar wrote on Facebook.
