Menczer: Zelensky wants different Hungarian government while Brussels prepares ‘secret service actions against Hungary'
Brussels, he added, was piqued because Hungary 'said no to Ukraine's EU membership and does not support pro-Ukrainian and pro-war policies'.
Referring to European People's Party head Manfred Weber and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, he said 'Weber and von der Leyen have sent a clear message.'
The Fidesz politician added: 'Zelensky, too, has sent a message. He wants a change of government!'
He said Zelensky wanted 'a puppet government' headed by Peter Magyar of the Tisza Party, because they supported Ukraine's EU accession bid.
'Weber, von der Leyen and Zelensky, together, want to topple the sovereigntist Orban government. Viktor Orban is in their way because the Hungarian prime minister does not bow to the will of Brussels and Ukraine,' he said. 'Instead, he protects Hungarian interests.'
Fully 2.2 million people in the Vote 2025 survey said Hungary came first, not Ukraine, he added.
Menczer said he planned to release a video today that proved his statement about 'Weber and Zelensky's threats'.

FM: Hungarian government will continue to fight against the Zelensky plan
"We will not allow Brussels to double Hungarian families' utility costs at the behest and lobbying of President Zelensky," the foreign minister said. Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said in Budapest on Wednesday that the Hungarian government will continue to fight against the 'plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which would put Hungary's energy security at serious risk and multiply the cost of utility bills.' Speaking on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, Minister Szijjártó said the government assessed the events of the European Union summits last week and discussed the proposal on banning the procurement of cheap Russian oil and gas, 'which would put central European countries, Hungary among them, into an extremely difficult situation'. 'It is clear that this plan was hatched in Brussels … as a result of Ukrainian lobbying. It is also clear that Brussels and Kyiv are clear-eyed about the security risk to supplies and the dramatic utility price increases that a forced Zelensky plan would cause in Hungary,' he said, according to a ministry statement. As a result of the 'plan', Hungary would only receive crude oil through one pipeline, and it would be cut off from 26 billion cubic meters of gas in total, he said. 'They are talking about sovereignty, new resources, competitiveness and supply security while at the same time gravely violating our homeland's sovereignty…' he said. 'At the cabinet meeting, we made it clear that Hungary will continue to fight against the Zelensky plan. The government will continue to take a stand to stop Brussels from undermining … Hungary's energy security, and will protect the lowest utility prices in Europe,' he said. 'We will not allow Brussels to double Hungarian families' utility costs at the behest and lobbying of President Zelensky. It will be a tough battle; it will be tabled at the next meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council, too. We will fight this fight and protect Hungarian people, families and the Hungarian economy,' Minister Szijjártó said.

Government will continue to provide water to farmers free of charge
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Wednesday that the government will continue to provide water to farmers free of charge, 'whatever Brussels thinks about that'. Posting a photo of the meeting on Facebook, PM Orbán said the government had started preparations for a hot summer ahead of time. The operative body for drought prevention was set up in May, and the government heard its report earlier on Wednesday. Some 1,000 employees used the rainy May to preserve 'water equivalent to one-third of Lake Balaton so far' and to channel it to drought-hit areas, he said. 'Of course, Brussels attacked the Hungarian government for giving water to Hungarian farmers for free. We will not give in to pressure, we will not take it lying down…' he said. The government will continue supplying water in those areas throughout the summer and into the autumn, he said. 'For us, Hungary comes first,' he said.

FM: Hungary will stay in close contact with Slovakia to protect national interests
Mentioning 'the Zelensky plan' that would deprive EU member states of cheap Russian gas and crude, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary will stay in close contact with Slovakia to protect national interests. Minister Szijjártó spoke by phone with his Slovak counterpart Juraj Blanar, and afterwards said in a post on Facebook on Wednesday that they agreed that energy supply must not be imperilled and they would not allow energy prices to shoot up. He called energy a 'purely physical matter', adding that endangering energy security on political-ideological grounds was 'unacceptable'. 'We agreed to stay in close contact so as to protect our national interests,' he added.
