András Fekete-Győr, the leader of the Momentum faction, would continue to send weapons to Ukraine, that is, his opinion has not changed since February 2022. Nevertheless, he believes that they should have denied this in the campaign, reads the Mediaworks Hírcentrum article.
András Fekete-Győr , it would have been fairer to help the Ukrainians with weapons. The former president of the Momentum Movement - currently the leader of the party's parliamentary faction - gave an interview on Klubrádió's program Megszlészúk..., when the host, György Bolgár , asked him if the opposition had accepted Fekete-Győr's opinion in the election campaign and the left had accepted the arms shipments believes in, would they have been more convincing in the eyes of the voters?
"It wouldn't have been more convincing, but it would have been fairer, " answered the faction leader. He added: "If you look at the member states of the Union, and even the surrounding, neighboring countries, the Romanians, Czechs, Slovaks, and Slovenians, then each country helped the Ukrainian nation in the national defense war, including humanitarian aid, but also with arms shipments. Half the world is actually doing that.”
The faction leader said that, in his opinion, the Hungarian government would have helped our Transcarpathian compatriots if they had sent weapons to the Ukrainian government to defend against the Russians. The argument is lame on several points: on the one hand, based on what has been said so far, the Russians did not even plan to attack Hungarian-inhabited areas. On the other hand, it was the Ukrainian government that enacted a law that deprived the Hungarian minority of its rights, after which it is highly questionable what kind of help our Ukrainian compatriots can expect from the Ukrainian state.
Known: András Fekete-Győr advocated the initiation of arms shipments in an opinion piece written before the outbreak of the war on February 24. - First of all - like our allies - weapons and humanitarian aid must be offered to the Ukrainian government in order to contribute to the protection of the Hungarian minorities in Transcarpathia - he wrote in the columns of the left-liberal medium Magyar Hang.
It seems that his policy at that time, which could lead Hungary to an open war, is still relevant.
Incidentally, in the Tuesday broadcast of Klubrádió, the presenter also asked Fekete-Győr, "What would have been a good opposition message to the voters?" - What Fidesz said - answered the former president of Momentum.
In English: Fekete-Győr would continue to deliver weapons, only now he would deny it.
