- In an interview with FRANCE 24, Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto hits back at claims of fraudulent use and mismanagement of EU funds. In November, Hungary agreed to pay a €1.6 billion penalty for alleged mismanagement of European funding. Meanwhile, The New York Times has published claims from a former Hungarian state secretary that PM Viktor Orban used Common Agricultural Policy money to enrich his family and friends. Szijjarto says his government is "ready for any kind of investigation" and claims the former state secretary has "personal" motives for speaking to the media.

The right wing orban is taking Hungary back to it's old Soviet ways!!
And not so clever neither...
Hungary 🇭🇺 stay strong- protect your culture and borders - Thankyou to the Hungarian people and political class for their beautiful hospitality and deep respect of genuine democracy- your outspoken support for Brexit will never be forgotten.
much love from Britain 🇬🇧
Budapest is truly a jewel of the world xxx
Kaine Joyes there is no gratitude in politics! We guarded the borders of Europe for 1000 years and all we got from west was the Trianon Treaty where we lost 2/3 of the homeland ...
papas99 I wasn’t alive then, but for what’s its worth (very little I suspect) you have my gratitude now. I loved visiting Hungary this year and hope to come back soon x
@@kainejoyes2981 I wasn’t alive then neither, but suffer now under romanian sovinism :(
papas99 Always on the wrong side of history! What about WW2 and the Arrow Cross Party and the hungarian Führer Ferenc Szálasi?
@@staffankarinpappila3975 It was forced on us... Just like communism...
This person is very smart, and trying to refuse the influence of European Union the best it can
People can still hide alot of insidiousness behind a good argument. Just because you feel he's doing good, it doesn't equate to him actually doing good.
@@Elzilcho87 yet until you have absolutely nothing to back up your claims... you're not right.
@Anthony Burke you are talking BS. Poland does follow the rules, the ones accusing Poland of not following the rules are the rulebreakers themselves.
@Anthony Burke If you want to believe your own lies you can do so, but do not think that others will too.
@Anthony Burke I live in Slovakia, and the life before we joined the EU was better than now. The western countries wanted just markets, sell their trash in our countries. You are delusional, we would be better of leaving the EU. But it will collaps before that anyway.
I could watch him all day. He is just brilliant, intelligent and discerning. He knows exactly how to handle the awkward questions, the disingenuous bullsh, the rude interruptions, the twists and distortions, the "so what you're saying is"s, and still remains gentlemanly throughout.
he truly is a genius
He is a true gentleman and knows what he is talking about. Bravo. Whereas, all the interviewers are pushy and self centered. He handles them very well.
What a great Foreign Minister! Wish we had one like him here in Canada 🇨🇦 with the same beliefs.
The problem is that you are the ones have government officials with "believes" in a Beautiful Libtard Utopia.
Our Peter just simply knows why he is there: to represent the national interests. It's not an accidence that he is the second most popular politician in Hungary.
This woman is not a reporter!!!
@Cogitator Sceptic Ok than, this woman is not an interviewer!
@Cogitator Sceptic If you so smart you can figure it out. I help, an interviewer is completely unbiased and only asking questions. Must be well informed on facts but flexible to come up with new questions on tbe spot, as the interview progresses.
This woman has non of those qualities, she already has an unchangeable oppinion and only have one agenda, to make it look like what she wants to look like. She is a disgrace, and people like her have a special place in hell.
Praise Israel and the demographic change!
This foreign minister is as harp cookie, he owns the EU everytime they attack Hungary. Orban is by far the strongest Leader in Europe at this moment. Everyone senses that the EU is on its last legs,it will not see out this decade. Italy, France and the Visegrad lands will exit soon and by soon I mean by 2026.
What you have described is an issue of patriotism. While the EU declares nations as an evil, patriots say "Our country first." Donald Trump can say nothing else but America first. Even France or Germany do business with Russia quite happily but they are big hypocrites as the EU saying that NOBODY ELSE would do business with Russia!! That is why Poland is so angry about Nordstream 2 od French missiles having been sold to Russia!!
Italy, Hungary and Poland will be the next to leave. All eyes are on the UK right now to see how they will do outside of the EU, and if other EU countries see UK doing well, that’ll be it for Europe.
Andrew: Britain will never look back!
You hit it right! Knowledge is power.

And sometimes he is telling half-truths.

@@peterjicmon4188 God, don't be so naive. Of course they are misusing EU-funds. You can see those funds being corrupted away all over in Hungary. (Not just by FIDESZ, but also by opposition parties)
Noureddine Larachi and you don’t think they are doing the exact same in France, UK or Germany? Honestly? The EU gravy train riders have tried with the full weight of the left wing EU centric and paid off media to stop BREXIT!
I would rather live hands down under a strong and European value based country like Hungary.

Thank you very much.
Koszonjuk SZEPEN!
Love this guy and his country!
Thank you.+
Hungary’s PM is a good supporter of his country. He has the facts to hand and he is transparent. I wish the interviewer, and she’s not alone, would allow the person being interviewed, finish his answer, especially those they disagree with. We’d like to hear all the answers. (Banbar)
EU claims funds have been misused..... that’s too funny.
At €500 a bottle of wine for lunch for the top brass......... pfffft.
The EU is over........ long Live Hungary!
@Cogitator Sceptic "granted" ? Really? Listen to this video again. He explained it pretty well.
@Cogitator Sceptic Yes, wine and bread traditionally indicates wealthy or poor country in history. But what troubling you Cogitator, why are you insidiously, sneaky aggressive in your comments and picking a single word to make people upset ? Would you stop it?
@Cogitator Sceptic Could you stop it please
Trust me EU funds are being misused here in Hungary. They do nothing with the EU funds except stealing them.
Martin Pikó I bet they use EU funds to work against the EU..... that would be great.....
I'm neither right wing or left wing not even center left or center right BUT what this dude is saying makes some sense.
The Hungarian Government is doing everything right and is therefore being sidelined in Europe. Hungary is the mentally healthy part of Europe. Peter Szijjarto is the flagship of a healthy Europe.
I love Peter Szijjarto, he's super smart, he always disarms his interviewers.
Europe's best foreign minister, definitely.
@Viktor Pápai Leftist libtard triggered. Like it.
@Jason Black Croatia.
He is much smarter than this EU representative asking him questions.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." 0 chances to the leftist "journalist".Thank You Mr Szijjártó!!!! Shout out to all the polish people!
The gust Mr. Peter: 10/10
The Interviewer lady: 0/10
Hungarian foreign minister gives a very good representation of the facts,
She had a list of dozens of questions, designed to trip up or corner Peter Szijjarto. None of them worked. I despise interviews and interviewers that prepare for interviews with an agenda to discredit the person they are interviewing and treat them as opponents. They all follow the same screenplay; however, they buckle under the pressure when encountering someone much more intelligent.
absolutely agree
Not sure she listened to, or was even capable of listening to a single answer. Lame stream media. The real fake news.
@@eoh6708 You are correct. I don't think she was listening. She was just waiting for the next round of opportunity to trip him or discredit him. They should listen to other interviews and realize that they don't even have a chance. The brainpower is not there.
Well, free speech is free speech, so if the interviewer wishes to expose her alliance to 'central command' by her obnoxious questioning style, she is free to do so. This interview proves only the strength of Hungary's position against the political witch-hunt against the country.
Amen to that. He is a very intelligent man and equipped to handle the interviewers with brillant responses.
Can we trade him for Trudeau!
We need someone with an education like this guy!
He speaks better English then most Quebecers!
:D :D
Trade!? No way! Maybe if we clone him you can have the clone but he is too valuable to be given away lol
Wolfgang: Trade Szijjarto for Trudeau? Who would want Trudeau?
Or just let me move to Hungary.
@@AnnaLVajda You are Hungarian aren't you?
Leaving Sweden hopefully soon with my Hungarian husband.
@Lp G I don't blame you. Multiculturalism will not work when the foreigners have no intention of integrating in the country they are "guests" in. I'm sure Germany, Sweden and the U.K. are secretly jealous!

All I have to say is this reporter is really bad at her job and indirectly shines light on the fact that certain individuals try to paint Hungary in a bad light.

Oh if you think that he is a king then see his boss Viktor Orban. He is a great educaded macchiavellist who can fight back George Soros greatly, and he protects the whole EU with his anti immigration program. And also he is the prime minister of Hungary
Stand up for Hungary
Peter Szijjarto is wonderful man of the people!
Mi vagyunk a legjobbak.Trianon nélkül!Nálunk Magyarországon ilyenek nönek!Péter Szijjártó!!!!!
Yes igen
Dear France 24, you should fire this woman! The strength of a an interviewer is in her/his questions (the person should be prepared and fimiliar with topics) and not in behaviour - to be rude, don't let speak up the interviewed person. No quality! The foreign minister is really good, he formulates his answers exactly, clear and is over the lady in wach aspect. I am dissapointed of her.
She started talking over peter anytime she did not want the truth to be clarified.
Yes, thesegirls have a lot to learn from their predicers. Why didn't they send experienced interviewers and not these girls. They looked obvious in being aggressive and not wanting to let Mr. Peter speak. They didn't impressive anybody.
I SUPPORT HUNGARY AND PATRIOT HUNGARIANS ORBAN+
I’ve never seen a more mature philosophy of foreign relations.
The eu is over
great statesman!!!
She always jump i to the answer. What level of jurnalism.
Because she didn't like to hear the truth. Typical leftist media.
This man....Peter.....is a champion
A great & swift argument from Hungary's foreign minister. Just let the West destroy their values, if they please, by inviting those hordes into their countries. Hungarians voted to remain Christian, Caucasian, ergo~ European. What's wrong with that?Thumbs up from Austria 👍
This lady got her facts upside down and got mauled by the truth. Shame, she must be a pawn!
Their country, their rules
you could see the spite in her eyes every time he gave an answer as she couldn't come back with anything because it was to much COMMON SENSE for her to comprehend so had to keep skipping to another question. shot her down every time!!!
This is what real Western leaders look like.
Why do these left wing journalists not pick on Putin? Fear? how about China or Germany ? I know, big countries ! So let's pick on Hungary! So brave of you all......Sad.
Hungarian Mad Lads. Atilla would be proud
Yes
Hopefully!
Hope he can see his descendants!
Koszonjuk Peter!
this lady interrupts too much the conversation. It is so annoying for us who watch. In other words she has learn to be a better listener. She is a bad journalist.
💪🏻🇭🇺✌🏻
We love you keep them out my brothers
Lucky Hungarians their prime minister stands up for for !!!
👍👏👏
If the people of Hungry are a lot like this gentleman I believe Canada should be working with Hungry. And this girl is a bot . She has a list of questions and must cause a stir to keep her job . Plus she is not very good at having a good conversation because she is very rude.

She is biased as usual.
This lady has a very unpleasant style in debating. Sometimes she was just simply rude.
Alwayes a pleasure listening to this top guy!!
2020(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
God bless Hungary, its amazing people and Christian values and its great Foreign Minister.
He just does his job. And very well---at that. (Unlike our enemies who sweat, swear, cuss and panic beside bullying for a cause that is dead as a doornail...) Yet: My compliments to her too---she is a great improvement after the previous /likeBBC, etc.) interviewers trying to dictate to Hungary. She is diverse, prepared and tough cookie but just that-No worse.
Her patronising smiling and nodding does her no favours.
Rule Of Law: France Ha! Looking into your own behaviour on the Common Agricultural policy. GB and Hungary go for it, there is mutual respect. Loath the style of interviewer of talking over an answer to a question she raised
Hello from Hungary
Terrible interviewer. Just let the man finish his thoughts!!!
Peter is a great speaker and I could watch him for hours, as for the woman, I could watch her be hung and also enjoy it.
Hang Christ's enemies, but don't enjoy it! God bless you!
Luv this guy
Learn to let the interviewee finish what you have asked of them, you sound like the bbc and sky news, oh so fake
Wow, it seems like everything the EU touches ends up in pointless harmful legislation and corruption? Who knew? Oh yea .... everybody knew.... globalist scum.
She just wanted to ask her stupid questions without understanding the answers
I wish Ireland 🇮🇪 was more like Hungary 🇭🇺
I usually dont like Reich wing politicians. They tend to be divisive and are comfortable with the inability for the poor to advance in society so that the social structure can continue to thrive on cheap labor. This guy. This guy makes a TREMENDOUS amount of sense.
That is because the ruling party is not the usual European dogmatic right wing, who scream and promise lower taxes, whose biggest interests is capitalism and globalism. Fidesz hold many referendums on important issues each year, and in many ways the people have much more to say in the policies of the country, at least that is obviously what the people feel otherwise they would not win the elections by a landslide. On the other hand the western EPP parties are in some sort of denial, only blaming the left for their own impotence.
What MSM doesn't like talkin about: PM Orbán (and his officials, of course) nor rightist, neither leftist - he's a national pragmatist. Our govt runs so much full-leftist policies here that would've make an orgasm for every SocDem in 1980s.
PLEASE learn how to pronounce his name. We're not asking for a perfect greeting in Hungarian, but just his name.
Robert Oswald try it this! See art o. See(szí) art(árt) o(o).
I think they do it to be demeaning intentionally. Even when I politely correct some people repeatedly with my name they insist on mispronouncing it. VI DUH how hard is that?
One day Paris will be a Hungarian village.
@Face Palm Yep. That's how I got my name. Let me apologize. We don't want Paris. The Africans can keep it.
@Face Palm No hard feelings bro, but I don't think you fully got my message.
Why are some countries benefiting with sanctions in place but not Hungary is the EU using passive aggressive measures to punish them because they are small and have tried to resist the unreasonable migrant quotas demanded of them? The facts seem to indicate an obvious bias and disproportionate benefit based on political alliances rather than a fair and common rule system.
Great Péter Szijjártó !!!
How can anyone respect the French president? His people hate him.... he wants a massive tax on gasoline that disallows "the peasants" from driving cars! all for the climate hoax of this particular decade.
Still the french people elected him and until they change their mind he is handled with as much respect as every french people deserve, because he represents them in the eye of a foreign country.
Listen closely to his response. Hungary only respects Macron because he is the choice of the French people. Extremely artful response.
@ Yes. Hungary also compensates for its small size with greater intelligence. This really shows when Hungarians deal with establishment media. ;)
He said Orban respects him "pretty much" just because he is their elected leader not because he likes him personally. Hungary deals with what they have to not always what they want to. That's just maturity.
Creds to Hungary for being able to navigate independently in politics. The reason why central europe is lacking behind west economically is because they´ve alway been forced to side with a greater power to their own disadvantage (ex. impose sanctions to RF while the west takes over the market shares they used to had before the sanctions and at the same time improving trade for themselves). This is unfair play.
I also got that impression, I have not kept up with Euro politics so I'm not sure of the truth, it seemed the interviewer did NOT want to hear some facts, or rather did not want the public to know.
He is a rockstar. The best.
bravo, Szijjártó is a real star on our mighty sky:)
What a good-looking chap.
Damn, he pretty much screwed that grown up version of Chucky, live on air!
Very good interview respect from Canada
Simply just give Hungary there share of monies god speed
All the answers they don't want to hear..... Sooooo talk over them.
Narcs with opinions.... Not Facts
All Feeling
No Facts!!!!
This man...
Hi france, you have tried to occupy russian land in the history, do you remember, dont you? Just think about what happened!
I'm not entirely sure why Hungary wants to stay in the EU.
@SamWeller Not disturbed at all. We think that it was good strategic move because EU slowly transforms itself into red dictatorship. Some of us are old enough to remember what it is like to live in communist regime.
They want to be cooperative but not taken advantage of and the EU is unreasonable. Now with Britain gone they are trying to squeeze the remaining members for funds while imposing migrant quotas and other sanctions.
Money Money Money...

There was mismanagement of funds in BRUSSELS. The accounts have not/could not be signed off for decades.
France 24 would have worked well with and cheered on the Vichy government.
@neil eastell and anti gender, anti nation culture, etc.
They want the economic and financial benefits, but not play by common EU rules and standards. The US and Russians are more than pleased that populist politics are undermining EU unity. Neither want to see the EU succeed. Hungary, Poland and the UK are playing right into it. Europe is far more worthwhile than the current political whims and aspirations of the English, Polish and Hungarian governments. Politics and politicians change, Europe will prevail. In a few years time nobody will even remember this clown, Lukashenko and Orban will be gone and so will Boris Johnson and half of his cabinet of neo-liberals parading around as conservatives. However, they will have enriched themselves at the expense of their own countrymen and women and to the detriment of the EU. There is nothing brilliant or admirable to see here.
She is British but she still has to poke her nose and be disrespectful to Central European politicians.
