EU to give cold shoulder to Hungary’s foreign affairs summit, – POLITICO

EU foreign ministers intend to skip a foreign affairs summit in Budapest in August and attend arranged on the same day summit by EU foreign policy leader instead. POLITICO reported this, citing three EU diplomats. “If there’s a formal foreign affairs council, organized by the high representative [Josep Borrell] the same day, the ministers won’t be able to go to Budapest,” one of them told the media. Josep Borrel is expected to announce his meeting on July 17. This scheme is a way to give Orban a signal he will not be able to manipulate EU into his so-called 'peace mission' after he had met with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump without prior notice to 26 EU leaders. Additionally, the Hungarian 'peacemaker' published a questionable letter on 'peace for Ukraine', containing Kremlin narratives. According to POLITICO, EU diplomats expect that the summit in Budapest will turn into 'another Orbán propaganda show'. Hungarian PM Viktor Orban arbitrarily took on a role of a peace broker after Hungary had taken over the EU Council on July 1 which led to EU leaders expressing great irritation and disowning Orban's position.
