Hungary's Prime Minister, Orbán, expresses a feeling of detachment or alienation towards Germany and Sweden today
In a recent currency exchange on an unspecified platform, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson found themselves at odds, with Orbán raising concerns about gang crime in Sweden and Kristersson accusing Orbán of making outrageous lies and dismantling the rule of law in Hungary.
The exchange was triggered by a post by Orbán, based on an article from German newspaper "Die Welt", which claimed that 280 girls aged 15 to 17 in Sweden were under investigation for various crimes, though not specifically for murder as Orbán claimed.
Orbán's statement was a response to a heated exchange with Kristersson, in which he accused Sweden of allowing criminal networks to exploit children with free rein, and stated that families live in fear. Kristersson did not initially respond further, but on Tuesday shared a video expressing concern about gang crime and the need for dangerous people to be behind bars.
Orbán's stance on illegal migration is that it must be stopped, as he stated with reference to the EU. He emphasized that the number of immigrants unlawfully present in Hungary is zero. However, he also clarified that Sweden is a friend and a noble nation, but expressed concern about its current state. Orbán concluded his statement by saying, "We are concerned about you, God bless Sweden."
The compilation shared by a Fidesz politician also shows peaceful scenes of people strolling through Budapest, Hungary, contrasting with the depiction of migrant unrest in Germany and Sweden. The refugee crisis in Germany began in 2015, as shown in the compilation.
Kristersson responded angrily to Orbán's statements, accusing him of fighting a desperate re-election campaign. He also emphasized that Sweden has a strong rule of law and that Orbán's comments were unfounded and harmful.
The exchange may have involved sharing data with third-party providers to access the actual content of Orbán's post. It remains to be seen how this exchange will affect relations between the two countries moving forward.
