Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will sign an agreement on the electricity network in Bucharest on December 17, which will transport electricity from Azerbaijan to Hungary via Georgia and Romania, confirmed Bertalan Havasi, head of the press service of Hungary. of the Prime Minister of Hungary, information published in the Romanian press, for the Hungarian press agency MTI.

According to information, the President of Romania Klaus Iohannis, the Prime Minister of Georgia Iraklii Garibashvili, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen will take part in the event. .

After a meeting in August with Azerbaijan’s energy minister, Péter Szijártó, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and foreign trade, announced that Azerbaijan would produce large amounts of renewable electricity that would be transported by sea first to Georgia and then to Romania. . “We have agreed,” Szijjártó wrote at the time, “that Hungary will join this ambitious project, as it requires the participation of at least two member states to receive EU funding.” Thus, renewable electricity can be transported to Hungary, which we can partially use, and partially serve as a transit route,” the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary said on his page on the social network.

Viktor Orbán’s visit to Bucharest comes four months after the Hungarian prime minister’s “mixed-race” remarks in Beile Tušnada scandalized the Romanian political class, led by President Klaus Iohannis.

President Klaus Iohannis said that he distanced himself from Orbán’s ideas.

“In principle, it is wrong, it is a big mistake and it is unacceptable for a high-ranking European dignitary to go on the public stage with a speech based on the theory of races, the theory that led to the most terrible disaster of the 20th century, the Second World War. In no case can it be accepted that a European dignitary puts forward such a theory,” said Klaus Iohannis.

These statements were also brought to the notice of CNCD. The National Anti-Discrimination Council qualified the statements of Viktor Orbán from Băile Tușnad as hate speech and found that the message sent created a hostile, humiliating, humiliating atmosphere towards certain categories of people based on nationality and race.

However, the CNCD failed to impose sanctions on the Prime Minister of Hungary. The reason: the jurisdictional immunity of Viktor Orbán, given his status as the prime minister of Hungary, which is located in a foreign country – Romania.

What Viktor Orban said in Tushnada

• “Left internationalists have a trick, an ideological trick: they claim that Europe is inherently a mixed race. This is historical and semantic blindness because it confuses different things. Because there is a world where European peoples are mixed with people from outside Europe. It’s a mixed race world. And we are us, where people from Europe mix among themselves: they move, get a job, move.
• In the Carpathian Basin, we are not mixed, but simply a mixture of peoples living in our own European homelands. And when the stars go out and the weather is good, these peoples merge into a kind of pan-Hungarian sauce, creating their own new European culture. This is what I have always fought for. We are willing to mix with each other, but we do not want to become a mixed race” (full speech).
