Incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has accused the outgoing Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, of destroying documents related to European Union sanctions before leaving office. Magyar made these allegations during a press briefing in Budapest, emphasizing his intention to sever Hungary's close connections with Russia. He also expressed support for Ukraine receiving a substantial EU loan that had been previously blocked by the former Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.
This development signals a potential shift in Hungary’s foreign policy, with Magyar indicating a break from the previous administration’s approach. His commitment to facilitating the EU loan to Ukraine reflects a more collaborative stance with European partners. The accusations regarding the destruction of documents could have significant political implications as the new government takes office.
