Hungarian Foreign Minister slams EU as 'lie factory' - TASS

 Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto sees the EU as a "lie factory" for obstructing Prime Minister Viktor Orban's peace initiative, supporting the halt of oil transit, and making accusations regarding migration policy.

As Szijjarto wrote on his Facebook page (banned in Russia, owned by Meta Corporation, recognized as extremist in Russia), the productivity of the "Brussels lie factory" was not hampered by either facts or the traditional summer lull, "and it is clear that constant failures do not hinder its work either."

"The Brussels lie factory attacked the [Budapest] peacekeeping mission initially after Viktor Orban's trips to Kiev, Moscow, Beijing and Florida.  Brussels was also exposed on the issue of banning oil transit on the orders of the Ukrainians,  as a result of which two EU member countries, including ours, are facing serious threats for energy supplies. After two failures, the Brussels crowd came up with another lie, claiming that Hungary is letting Russian and Belarusian spies into the EU. We have already clearly explained to the representatives of the Baltic countries why this is a blatant lie, but it seems that they do not care about the facts, and neither does Manfred Weber (head of the largest European People's Party (EPP) in the EU)," he noted.

Szijjarto also accused the head of the EPP of "Hungaryophobia" and wrote that he is waiting to see what the EU leadership, the Baltic countries or Manfred Weber will come up with "for the fourth time after they failed with the third lie."
