RT @USAmbHungary: Respectfully, we do not consider Russia’s attempt to unilaterally redraw the borders of Europe as just a “domestic political development in Hungary.”

and #COVID19 in low- and middle-income countries. A great opportunity to talk about how we can strengthen our cooperation i.a. on access to health technologies, global health and inequalities not just on #EU level but worldwide. Thanks for coming, let’s continue.

Yesterday I had an amazing discussion with the representatives of @UNITAID, a global #health agency hosted by @WHO that addresses challenges in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases like #tuberculosis, #HIV/#AIDS, #malaria

For some reason there are quite a few politicians in 🇭🇺 who play with the idea of #HUXIT. Some of them are openly supported by #Fidesz - or even inside it.

Well that would be the most stupid thing to do I'm pretty sure.

/7 and why the NER and the leaders of the Hungarian government have (not so covertly, in fact) served Putin’s interests in this historic situation. They have the power to cover up the whole truth for now, but the time will come when they will have to account for everything.

/6 and how the family of the head of Russian intelligence was able to obtain Hungarian residency bonds, why the staff of the Russian investment bank’s Budapest headquarters were granted unprecedented diplomatic immunity,

/5 One thing is certain: the Fidesz government and the elite of the NER will one day have to account for the business and personal connections (or even compulsions) that tied them to the Putin-listed regime,

/4 It is worth remembering how difficult it was for the Fidesz state to condemn the Russian aggression, even if only minimally, and how disgracefully and mendaciously they tried to portray the opposition as ‘pro-war’.

/3 It is memorable how frozen the propaganda machine was after Putin’s bloody attack, the possibility of which the Fidesz whistleblowers denied with a laugh and a smile until the last moment.

/2 The #Orbán government has been deliberately manipulating public opinion in a very clear and obvious way since the start of Russian aggression: basically to cover up its own crimes, but often to bend reality to suit Russian interests

/1 How does protecting Russian oligarchs from sanctions serve Hungary and Hungarians? This question was recently posed @usembbudapest @USAmbHungary. A perfectly legitimate question, regardless of the fact that it was posed by someone who is clearly not impartial in the conflict.

bulldozes villages, cemeteries and churches: Are you really at war with #Russia? Twice wasn't enough, for f*cks sake? And now, exceptionally, is there an option where only you perish?"

No matter how #Fidesz politicians put on a nice smile time to time, THIS IS who they are.

Good friend of @PM_ViktorOrban, #Fidesz founder, calling himself journalist wrote a blogpost addressed to 🇩🇪 MFA @ABaerbock. Let me show it to you:

"Let me ask something from this "green" a*hole who closes nuclear power plants, opens and expands lignite mines,

You must never be one of those. You must never turn your head away. This is what I try to teach my children, achieve as personal and political goal. And today is the best day to remind ourselves why.

There are victims. There are those who assist them with shelter, food, transport, or even showing some humanity.

There are perpetrators. There are those who truly believe it and there are those who simply look for opportunity.

But there are also those who turn their heads away.

I as social democrat have been dedicated my life to the fight against discrimination, exclusion, shaming, bullying and kicking into those who are in need. And I will never turn my head away when I see something like that.

It's #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, the day when 78 years ago #Auschwitz was liberated.

Definitely the most tragic part of the history of humanity. No tweets would be enough to describe one's feelings about it and I wouldn't even try to do so.

Aviation is crucial for transport. Sustainability, social aspects and governance, ESG are the next steps. @ACI_EUROPE is the main partner in this process.

🇭🇺 "Whoever controls the media of a given country controls the thinking of that country and through that the country itself" - says the political director of #Orban.

One of those rare honest #Fidesz moments. Now we now at least.
