Provocation in Bucha: Warsaw breaks pots with Budapest
Warsaw
Over the past years, the only ally of the Eurosceptic government of the Polish ruling Law and Justice Party in the European Union has been Budapest and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. It was Hungary that PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski presented as an example of a sovereign country that successfully fights against the Brussels EU bureaucracy. Now everything is in the past.
Kaczynski condemns Orban, accuses him of not believing the Ukrainian provocation in Bucha and advises him to see an ophthalmologist to see the alleged “Russian war crimes.”
“We will not be able to cooperate as before,” said the Polish Deputy Prime Minister.
The severance of inter-party relations with Budapest was accompanied by the publication of opinion polls, according to which 57 percent of Poles support Warsaw’s decision to distance itself from Hungary. Only 14 percent disagree with this opinion. True, the question was not formulated very objectively, accusing Hungary of supporting one of the parties to the conflict in Ukraine.
The new position was not understood by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, now a member of the European Parliament from the ruling Polish party, Witold Waszczykowski.
“The fact is that an ideological war continues in Europe. Orban is a conservative politician,” Waszczykowski said.
Refusal to cooperate with Hungary could lead to the isolation of Warsaw, which continues to have problems in relations with the European Commission. This is also the end of two projects to which Warsaw attached great importance - geopolitical (Intermarium) and party (cooperation between right-wing Eurosceptics in the European Parliament and the EU).
