I have decided to convene informal meetings of EU Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministers in Brussels, after the summer break.
At today’s #FAC, EU Member States overwhelmingly criticized Hungary’s lack of sincere and loyal cooperation.

This guy is a real whack-job.
The EU’s most senior diplomat, Josep Borrell, has called a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels – in effect a boycott of a rival gathering in Budapest – to register widespread anger over Hungary’s rogue diplomacy.
Borrell announced that he had decided to convene informal meetings of EU foreign affairs and defence ministers in Brussels after the summer break, meaning the same participants will not gather in Budapest as originally planned.
At Monday’s foreign ministers’ meeting “EU member states overwhelmingly criticised Hungary’s lack of sincere and loyal cooperation”, Borrell wrote on X, as he announced the decision.
Hungary, which took over the EU’s rotating presidency on 1 July, has infuriated other EU leaders, with prime minister Viktor Orbán’s self-styled “peace missions” to Moscow and Beijing and talks with the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
…
Borrell said all member states “with one single exception” were “very much critical” about Hungary’s behaviour. Slovakia – led by Orbán’s regional ally Robert Fico – again held back from criticising Hungary, after its silence at a meeting of senior diplomats last week.
Boycotting or protesting directly against peace is such a bizarre concept.
The fact that the people protesting peace are doing it in the name of the sacredness of national borders, and happen to be the same people who opened the borders of every white country to allow massive swaths of formerly white cities to be colonized by foreigners, makes it all the more remarkable.
The people doing this are all women and then these feminine old men.

Thousands and thousands are dying on the battlefield every day. We will find no #peace on the battlefield, but only at the negotiating table. My goal is to convince European leaders to make a shift to a pro-peace policy. pic.twitter.com/AG46FPCvmG

To be clear, if they were pushing some kind of Conanism, and saying they were going to conquer Russia and rape the women and loot their gold, that would be much less offensive.
But it’s not that.
It’s “values and principles of our democracy,” which is a nice way of saying “teach gay anal fisting to 5-year-olds.”
