The leaked Szijjártó wiretaps indicate that neither he nor Orbán understood that Europe is not a game

The article discusses the absence of Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó during a critical political moment following Tisza's election victory. It highlights concerns about his close ties with Russia, particularly after leaked conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov raised suspicions about Szijjártó's loyalty to the EU. The leaks have led to a perception of Szijjártó as a Russian puppet, and the article suggests that the Hungarian government's foreign policy may have serious repercussions, including potential isolation from European allies.
