Viktor Orban's government is giving North Macedonia billions in Chinese loans.
The Hungarian economy may be shaken by the Orbans' worrying moves.
The news came on Sunday:
The Hungarian government provides a huge loan to the government of North Macedonia,
controlled by the VMRO-DPMN party, which can almost be considered an ally. People's word According to his information, they did not even deny the information despite all this. viktor urban It is trying to increase its “European weight” – if it exists.
How much is this?
And remember that a few weeks ago Hrysztjan MycoskiSkopje's new prime minister even called Orban a “hero of Macedonia” when the Hungarian prime minister announced that a large Hungarian loan would “help” North Macedonia out of economic bankruptcy and hopefully create an opportunity to kick-start the economy.

But now it has been revealed: the loan. second, Half a billion euros The installment will be paid in January 2025, just as North Macedonia is due to repay a previous loan. Mickoski promised rapid economic growth, which he intends to achieve with the resources of the Hungarian State Bank, because, according to the prime minister, the terms of the Hungarian loan are more favorable than those available on international markets.
The loan
For 15 years He says annually 3.25 percent With interest and payment only Three years It will be due later (!).
What will Orban's government use to repay the loan?
No one would argue that supporting Orbán clearly constitutes a political move, through which the Hungarian prime minister is trying to expand his room for manoeuvre in Europe. At the same time, the weight of the case is somewhat reduced by the assumption that
Hungary itself disburses this loan from the credit,
Including recently added billion euros Through Chinese credit.

Criminal Nikola Gruevski is back on the map
It is worth noting that the VMRO-DPMN party led by Orban and Mickoski has had an almost allied relationship with each other for decades, which was previously headed by Nikola Gruevski The former prime minister stood up.
Gruevski lost the election in 2016, and two years later was convicted of various violations and abuses.

As they wrote, Gruevski's escape was organized by the Hungarian authorities, and the Hungarian government granted him asylum. At the same time, it currently seems that his party's victory will not be enough for him to return home, but he is not invited. Gruevski's name may be associated with excesses in the field of “nation building”, to the extent that he succeeded, for example, in excluding his country from Euro-Atlantic integration.
An unspoken part of Orban's worldview is that he is a delusion The idea that Hungary could play the role of a central power in the region (?). As is well known, the importance of V4s cooperation has decreased significantly today. Thus, Orbán recently sees the Balkans as a new area of Hungarian influence, especially the parts outside the EU.
The Hungarian nationalist leader is building a close relationship with the Serbian Vucic regime. Their shared interest is to benefit from the advantages of the European Union while maintaining relations with Russia and China. We reported that Orbán is also financially supporting the Republika Srpska, which contributes to continued tensions in the region.
This is what the Urban family gets for the loan.

However, in reality he is serving the interests of China and Russia. It has been noted that Liubso Popovski According to a Skopje analyst, Orban is trying to create a Budapest-Belgrade-Skopje axis, hoping that these countries, together with EU enlargement, will “strengthen” his right-wing sovereigntist camp.
