”Sweden is our friend. The Swedish people are our friends. But your government is not Hungary's friend", writes Orbán on X.
Furthermore, the Hungarian Prime Minister lists a number of occasions that he believes support his claim. Among other things, he means that Sweden voted to exclude Hungarian universities from exchange programs, and that the Swedish EU Minister wants to put "increased pressure" on Hungary because the country opposes a future membership in the EU for Ukraine.
”In Hungary, we call this behavior several things, but friendly is definitely not one of them”, writes Orbán and continues:
”Every country has its problems. In Sweden, migration is one of them. But unlike you, we do not interfere with other countries' sovereignty or internal affairs and do not lecture other countries – we will, however, continue to worry about you and the Swedish people."
The post comes as a response to the open letter that Ulf Kristersson published on Wednesday – which in turn was a response to a number of posts where Orbán in recent days has criticized Sweden and portrayed the country as a dystopia.
”I understand that it is election campaign in your country, and that you this time are really challenged for power. But we do not interfere in your election campaign and we do not want to be a part of it”, wrote Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Wednesday's open letter.
TT has sought Kristersson for a comment on Orbán's latest attack, but he refers via his press secretary to the open letter.
