We are definitely against the behaviour of Brussels when it comes to Georgia. We want the European Union to ensure level playing fields and not to apply double standards. Such a statement made the Hungarian Foreign Minister.

“We have an understanding that Brussels does consider democracy to be in danger whenever it’s a right-wing conservative government winning elections. Every time right-wing politicians win elections, discussions begin in Brussels about threats to democracy. They seem to consider only liberal governments as democratic. So this is bad, we will try to influence things in order to improve.

I think with President [Donald] Trump, international politics can come back to the basis of mutual respect, pragmatism, more rationality, less ideologisation, less political influence, less interference into domestic issues of each other… It was too much what the Democrats’ administration and Brussels together used to be doing in interfering with the domestic issues of others. Putting pressure, cutting the financial funds of USAID is a move, which we cherish a lot because that decreases the financial funds for those who have been interfering into domestic issues of other countries”, - said Péter Szijjártó.
