“The ‘Hungarian lesson’ should be analyzed by the right wing on multiple levels,” stated on Sunday evening the head of the National Security Bureau, Sławomir Cenckiewicz, commenting on election results in Hungary.
Cenckiewicz referred to a post on X by Law and Justice MP Janusz Kowalski, who shared a joint photo with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. “Thank you for supporting Poland over the years. We will never forget it!” he captioned the photo.
The head of the National Security Bureau holds a different view on the matter.
“He was an ally of Poland only in the context of the struggle with cosmopolitans and centralists in the EU, and on the issue of migration. That was important, but not enough. Beyond that, he only deepened contradictions. There was a different perception of the Russian threat, differences in the understanding of the North Atlantic alliance (studies will one day be written about the role of Hungarians within the intelligence community), and an energy policy completely at odds with our interests (including recent actions and MOL’s expansion into the Serbian market in consultation with Russia), as well as the burial of the Three Seas Initiative…!
Cenckiewicz wrote.
As he recalled, “recordings of conversations between the Hungarian prime minister and the foreign minister with (Vladimir) Putin and (Sergei) Lavrov, recently disclosed (possibly obtained by an intelligence service), are an illustration of all this.”
“The relativization of this by the anti-Russian Polish right was a mistake (to put it mildly). Perhaps at least lustration will take place in Hungary, along with a different archival policy,”
Cenckiewicz added.
In his view, “generally, the Hungarian lesson should be analyzed by the right wing on multiple levels, from the question of the actual quality of this ‘alliance’ to the issue of the involvement of Western cosmopolitans and resources in bringing about change in Hungary, as a preview of what will happen in Poland in 2027, to keep (Prime Minister) Donald Tusk together with (Defense Minister) Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and (Speaker of the Sejm) Włodzimierz Czarzasty in power!”
“2023, in this respect, was merely a warm-up!”
assessed the head of the National Security Bureau.
After more than 98 percent of the votes had been counted, Tisza won 138 seats in the 199-member Hungarian parliament, securing the majority required to amend the constitution.
