Hungary's Orban and his political alliances | DW News

Hungary is a member of both the EU and NATO but the foreign policy approach of the country's prime minister, Viktor Orban, often rejects the sensibilities of these alliances. Not one serving EU leader came to Hungary in August 2023, when Prime Minister Viktor Orban celebrated Hungary's birthday. Instead, his guest list included for example: the heads of Turkey, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Qatar. What's going on in Hungary? And why does Orban have the friends that he does?

Hungary's birthday, and Orban throws a party? Really? What a discusting way to put it. I understand that DW News hates Orbán, but please, for God's sake, don't make such discusting statements. It's a national holiday, not some party that was made by a politician for other politicians.

I don't agree with Orban's policy, but this is the first time I agree with Orban regarding immigration.Countries that allowed immigration to bear the consequences.

9:18 labeling Jordan Peterson as alt-right is all I need to know when assessing the credibility of this channel.

This is outrageous, Hungarians do not want to be replaced by arabs and africans in their Hungary! Why not take example from Germany, having already 3, 000, 000 Turks and inviting 4, 000, 000 more.

5 years ago DW was respectful. Now you have taken sides like most modern journalism. You either pay your journalist very very good wages, or your editors only allow their agenda.

This video is excellent material for a public opinion manipulation course in media.

The EU would have less problems with Hungary if the EU would stop trying to rewrite Hungarys domestic laws.

What no one wants to talk about is how the EU said it has no extra natural gas, diesel, gas or oil it can sell Hungary to replace what it is buying from Russia.

The EU demanded Hungary collapse its economy in solidairity with Ukraine. Meanwhile, Germany, the UK, and Italy bought $100 billion in Russian oil for 8 months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Nations should honor the will of their voters, NOT bureaucrats in Brussels. Hungary said they will cooperate with the EU on Ukraine, once the EU gives it the money it is owed. This is a reasonable request.

So because he's not a sheep and says his own opinion and thoughts he's now a bad guy? What the heck is wrong with everyone who says that here? Ever heard of democracy? Everyone has a right to have his own opinion about issues, and that goes for EU members.

[surpluselectronics]

Do you see at the demonstartions people being arrested or biten up?
Every one can share his opinion in Hungary! No one silenced!
There is corruption, But even amongs the leader of the EU. Corruption is Europien norm.

Hungry is probably the only country in Europe which can pursue its own independent policy . They are not like Germany or France which are satellite states

Why spoil the holiday with the presence of leaders of Western fascism... Happy birthday, Hungary!

[TheFirstTheLast-gt]

Does liberal democracy means when Washington and Brussel say "jump !", all you can say is "how high ?"

[Blastsniper]

So from who should Hungary buy their gas from DW? Please tell me.

In the first World War the Hungarian prime minister was begging the Emperor to don't start a war against Serbia.
Same in the second world war, Hungary did not want to fight against Russia. But by then the Third Reich was a neighbor to Hungary.

Germans always want Hungary to fight against the Russian with them, yet we have no quarrel with the Russians.
And we always go with Germany and we always got beaten. Do you see the pattern?

You are doing it again.

[axoloneidolon]

Everyone how's not dancing to the rhythm of the progressive left is alt-right.

[mugin]

Hungary should be thrown out of the EU.

[attilaosztopanyi]

Sorry if we invited our cultural cusins to our nations birthday instead of someone who always intrigue against us.
Seeing what migration caused in Germany, France, Italy. Hungary is 18th safest country in 2023. Conservativeism and nationalism is not a crime It doesn't matter how liberals want to paint it.
And it looks like people has enough of liberals. Look at the elections in Finland, Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia ect...

As a westerner I respect this man’s integrity. I struggle to find something like him in Western Europe.
