U.S. Ambassador David Pressman, who was summoned by Hungary this week, delivered a blunt speech accusing Prime Minister Viktor Orban of acting to “undermine trust.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrives for the inauguration of Hungary's new president, Tamas Sulyok, on Sunday. In a blunt speech Thursday, U.S. Ambassador David Pressman accused Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of acting to “undermine trust.
“We regard the Republicans as the real America,” said Zoltan Kovacs, international spokesman for the Orban government. With the Democrats, he said, “you have this ideologically driven approach, represented not only by the central administration but also by the ambassador here, and constant pressuring to do things we are not going to do.”
“He’s getting attention; he’s getting an increasing amount of power,” she added. “He’s gotten it by breaking all the rules on civility and politeness.”Washington had tried to seek official clarification from Orban, Pressman said, describing the comments as “unrecognizable to the United States.”“Why answer obviously politically motivated and ideologically biased pretensions and remarks and pressures?” Kovacs said.
