Hungarian FM Szijjarto, commenting on the 10th package of EU anti-🇷🇺 sanctions, which included 🇷🇺 journalists, expressed bewilderment at the position of the West – on the one hand, they call for freedom of the media, and on the other hand, they are included in the sanctions lists pic.twitter.com/HYBEKRARlT

This is something so obvious it is painful, but it has now become apparent to me that in order for the masses of people to take notice of very obvious things, you must explicitly point them out to them.

The EU’s declared support for media freedom clashes with its actions in a “confusing” way, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said, commenting on the blacklisting of Russian journalists in the latest round of sanctions.
In an interview with RIA Novosti news agency published on Monday, the diplomat also said the Hungarian government is criticized by Brussels for allegedly not protecting the media.
“The only reason for this criticism is that unlike in every other part of Europe, in Hungary the media is really colorful. If you look around in Europe, 98% of media is liberal, and the rest are the others,” he claimed, while acknowledging that his words may be “a small exaggeration.”

“So those who are judging us for media freedom, those are [the people] putting journalists on a sanctions list. For me it’s a bit confusing,” he concluded.
It’s not confusing. It’s just hypocrisy, which is the defining value of the Anal Empire.
