💥🇵🇱🇭🇺 SCOOP: On March 23, after celebrating Polish-Hungarian friendship day in Przemyśl with Hungarian president Tamás Sulyok, Polish president Karol Nawrocki is planning a quick trip in the afternoon to Budapest to meet and endorse Viktor Orbán in his election campaign. This would be an official visit, also aimed at mending ties after Nawrocki canceled his planned December 4 trip due to Orbán's prior meeting with Vladimir Putin.
However, the timing is again quite bad for Nawrocki: March 23 also happens to be the "Grand Assembly" of the Patriots for Europe far-right alliance in Budapest, with well-known pro-Kremlin politicians such as Matteo Salvini and Marine Le Pen participating. Nawrocki's visit would also come amid a string of reports on Russian intelligence meddling in Hungary's election campaign to keep Viktor Orbán in power.
These are current plans, according to my sources — but as last time, the political risk for the new standard-bearer of the Polish political right of being associated with pro-Kremlin politicians may ultimately prove too high. This information comes from sources informed on Nawrocki's visit, who spoke to @VSquare_Project on condition of anonymity. For more scoops, sign up to our 'Goulash' newsletter, link in thread.👇
I want to thank everyone for all the support we’re receiving. There really is an incredible amount of it.
For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had.
And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.
