The Polish Prime Minister said he will maintain a "special relationship" with Hungary's new government
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that he believes Poland and Hungary's new government will establish an "unusual good relationship."
Tusk pointed out that the change in Hungary's political landscape is significant, having important implications for bilateral relations between Poland and Hungary, intra-European dynamics, as well as the funds previously frozen by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, which were intended for Poland and Ukraine.
According to a video broadcast by the Polish Prime Minister’s office, Tusk said at a press conference held in Seoul:
"I have just spoken with Péter Márki-Zay, congratulated him, and discussed his upcoming visit to Warsaw. For obvious reasons, he had set Warsaw as his first destination for foreign travel long ago. I believe our relationship will be special."
Tusk believes the election results in Hungary demonstrate that nothing in politics is permanent.
The Polish premier added: "This is a signal to those who do not believe in their own strength."
Previously, Tusk had posted on social media platform X regarding Hungary’s political situation: "Welcome back to Europe."
Based on 98.9% of votes counted from the April 12 Hungarian parliamentary election, the opposition party "Tisza," led by Péter Márki-Zay, won 138 out of 199 seats. The Hungarian government had repeatedly emphasized that if the "Tisza" party takes power, it would follow a European-oriented policy and could not reject demands from Brussels—especially concerning Ukraine’s accession to the EU and aid funding for Ukraine.
