“Hungary is completely against the fact that Georgian government officials should be put on a sanction list,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary, Peter Szijjártó, at a joint press conference with Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili.

According to him, Hungary provides Georgia with any kind of support.

“If the opposition had won the elections, Brussels would be loudly proclaiming that Georgian democracy has never been stronger. But now that a conservative party has won, they are doing everything in their power to dismiss and ignore the will of the people, questioning the democratic choices expressed by the Georgian people in free elections in a completely undemocratic manner. This is indeed a serious and transparently boring game played by the liberal mainstream, which we strongly reject.

I would like to emphasize that Hungary remains fully committed to supporting Georgia’s European integration efforts, unlike Brussels, where the liberal mainstream is working to alienate Georgia. We believe this approach is not only harmful but also dangerously misguided.

Recently, the European Parliament adopted a resolution that addresses the nation in a humiliating manner. We reject this, as the European Parliament’s actions are harmful both to its member states and to those aspiring for European accession. The reality is that the European Parliament is dominated by a pro-war, liberal majority that continuously attacks those advocating for peace. Therefore, we urge Brussels and the international liberal elites to respect the decision of the Georgian people and not question their sovereign right to determine the future of their own country.

Just moments ago, we received an unfounded proposal from Brussels suggesting that the Georgian Minister of the Interior and two high-ranking police officers be placed on the European sanctions list. This is outrageous and unsupported by any evidence. Hungary is completely against the fact that Georgian government officials should be put on a sanction list. If any such proposals are received, we will veto them, and you can be assured of that,” the Hungarian FM stated.
