A few minutes after midnight, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó made a mysterious Facebook post. As he wrote:
Another night above the clouds. We are going to a place where the Hungarian Foreign Minister has never been before!
Fortunately, by morning dawn, it was also revealed where the march had gone:
To Equatorial Guinea!
It was revealed over the weekend that the government had entered into an economic and technical cooperation agreement with the government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. As we wrote: Contrary to its name, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea is actually a dictatorship that was led by President Teodoro Obiang for 45 years and, according to Transparency International, was one of the most corrupt countries in the world in 2024.
Viktor Orban authorized the conclusion of the agreement with his decision announced in the Hungarian newspaper on Friday evening, and it was clear from the text that all this was done based on the proposal of Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó.
Orbán also authorized Szijjarto to appoint those who will negotiate the agreement, which must be signed by the Hungarian Foreign Minister – or someone he appoints – but the government will also review the final draft.
