Tamás Menczer retaliated harshly to the Slovak foreign minister, who tried to outwit his Hungarian colleague.
If there is no war in the next four years, why finance arms shipments? - asked the State Secretary responsible for bilateral relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade on his Facebook page on Sunday in response to the Twitter post of the Slovak Foreign Minister.
In a message to Péter Szijjártó Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Miroslav Wlachovsky wrote on Twitter that he does not remember a discussion when it was said that the Russian-Ukrainian war would last another four years.
The war could end tomorrow. The problem is not the EU, but Russia, the Slovak minister insisted.
Dear Péter, please don't tell what other people think before you ask them. The EU consists of 27 countries. I don't recall any debate when we said the war would continue for 4 years. War can stop tomorrow. EU is not the problem, Russia is the problem. Russians go home! Let there be peace! 1956 https://t.co/RGPxVbxGaF

In his answer, Tamás Menczer stated that Minister Wlachovsky either has a bad short-term memory, and this is a benign assumption, or he is lying. At the last meeting, the EU foreign ministers discussed the proposal according to which five billion euros should be spent annually in the next four years to finance the arms shipments to Ukraine, recalled the state secretary, noting that the Slovak foreign minister did not oppose the proposal .
"But if there is no war in the next four years, why finance arms shipments?" - Tamás Menczer asked the poet's question. The State Secretary emphasized that Hungary's position remains unchanged: Hungary wants an immediate ceasefire and peace.
