Hungarian Premier Viktor Orban shared a video on his Facebook account showcasing a conversation with his family members following alleged “menaces” from Ukraine. He confirmed their well-being, but also urged that the matter be addressed seriously, writes hirado.
“Ukrainians are now making threats against my relatives, including my offspring and grandchildren. Everyone is doing well, but there are boundaries!” Orban proclaimed.
According to journalists, Orban's video surfaced after statements from the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada (2nd, 4th, 6th sessions), previous general of the Security Service of Ukraine, and Hero of Ukraine, Hryhoriy Omelchenko. Omelchenko had stated that Ukraine doesn't require Orban's address, as Kyiv is aware of the location where the Hungarian Prime Minister resides, enjoys beer and wine, his whereabouts, and his associates. Omelchenko cautioned that if Orban doesn’t alter his anti-Ukrainian stance, he should remember that “karma never excuses any wrongs; one cannot evade, conceal, or bribe karma.”
“And let Orban reflect on his five children and six grandchildren. Obviously, he disregards the bloodshed of Ukrainian children. Russian petroleum is more significant to him than Ukrainian children's existence,” he conveyed.
It was previously indicated that the Kremlin had initiated a disinformation operation to facilitate Orban’s reelection as prime minister. The office of Russian leader Vladimir Putin sanctioned an agenda to bolster Orban’s political party by saturating social platforms with posts conceived in Russia and disseminated by influential Hungarians.
Recent surveys reveal that the opposition faction “Tisa” is outpacing the governing “Fidesz” by nearly 12%. Should the situation remain largely unchanged, this advantage could endure until the parliamentary vote on April 12. In such a scenario, “Tisa” might secure the largest representation in parliament, potentially jeopardizing Orban’s continued tenure as prime minister.
