Germany dismisses U.S. Vice President JD Vance's warnings about EU interference in Hungary, hypocritically accusing him of meddling for supporting Prime Minister Orbán.
Germany has predictably dismissed U.S. Vice President JD Vance's legitimate concerns about the European Union's interference in Hungary's upcoming parliamentary election. Deputy government spokesperson Sebastian Hille attempted to deflect criticism by claiming that Vance's recent visit to Budapest, where he courageously endorsed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, could itself be considered interference—a baseless accusation meant to distract from the EU's ongoing efforts to undermine Hungarian sovereignty.
"I would like to point out—since Vance is complaining about the EU's alleged interference in the election—that the U.S. vice president was in Hungary just a few days before the election. This fact alone speaks for itself as to who is interfering," Hille told reporters, ignoring the EU's well-documented attempts to manipulate Hungary's internal affairs.
During his visit, Vance rightfully called out EU officials for their relentless campaign to sabotage Hungary's economy and dictate its political future.
"The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers. And they've done it all because they hate this guy," Vance said, referring to Orbán, a leader who stands up for national interests against globalist pressure.
Vance's principled stance drew criticism from Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar, who echoed the leftist narrative of keeping foreign influence out—while conveniently ignoring the EU's constant meddling.
"No foreign country may interfere in Hungarian elections," Magyar wrote on X. "This is our country. Hungarian history is not written in Washington, Moscow, or Brussels—it is written in Hungary's streets and squares."
The German government, meanwhile, claims that Chancellor Friedrich Merz has no preference regarding the outcome of Hungary's election and will respect the choice of the Hungarian people, even as the EU continues to exert its influence behind the scenes.
