FM: Polish government are ‘trampling on the rule of law’ and peace

Minister Szijjártó said that US President Donald Trump’s efforts towards peace had a “serious chance” of succeeding.

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the Polish prime minister and foreign minister are “trampling on the rule of law” in Poland while “lecturing us about what’s in Europe’s interest”.

“They think: continue the war; we think: peace. They think: killing and destruction; we think: create peace,” the foreign minister said in a post on Facebook.

Minister Szijjártó added that US President Donald Trump’s efforts towards peace had a “serious chance” of succeeding.

“It’s a shame that the Polish government, along with the rest of Brussels, is trying to block peace talks. It’s this attitude in Brussels that is isolating the European Union. The vast majority of the world, led by the United States and including Hungary, wants peace, while 26 member states of the European Union, including Poland, voted on Thursday to continue the war…” he wrote.
