The fate of Macedonia must serve as a deterrent example of the effects of foreign interference according to the Hungarian foreign minister.
“Macedonia is a living example of what happens when a series of external influence attempts destabilise internal politics”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said at a press conference prior to a summit of the Confederation of Hungarian Employers and Industrialists. “When the VMRO-DPMNE patriotic party won the previous elections the opposition was not prepared to take part in joint work and foreign powers wanted to dictate who should govern the country. A stable government coalition was forced to appoint a few politicians from one of the ‘heavily defeated’ opposition parties to key positions, such as that of Interior Minister”, he added “We can see what organisations clearly interfered on the side of the opposition, and institutions and organisations linked to George Soros have been very active in Macedonia recently”, the minister explained.
