North Korea called Orbán a "role model"

North Korea has expressed admiration for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, calling him a "role model" for upholding national sovereignty. This was reported by the Hungarian publication Nepszava.

The statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK was a reaction to Orbán's latest speech, in which he criticized the European Union and emphasized "Hungary's steadfast position in protecting its sovereignty." Pyongyang emphasized that the words of the Hungarian leader are an example for other countries that seek an independent policy and rejection of external pressure.

The North Korean authorities noted that Hungary "will not tolerate pressure from Brussels and will not allow itself to be made a puppet." The official statement of the DPRK emphasizes: "Hungary is not afraid of threats from imperialism and will not allow it to be subordinated to Brussels or made a puppet state."
