Balazs Orban has accused the Democrats of attempting to jail their political opponents and of importing migrant voters.
One of Viktor Orban's senior advisers suggested that former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should reflect on her own actions before criticizing the Hungarian Prime Minister for undermining democracy.
On Wednesday, Clinton took to X to criticize former President Donald Trump for praising Viktor Orban during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris the night before. She referred to Orban as a “democracy-killing Hungarian dictator,” and shared a 2018 article that asserted his strict immigration policies, controversial judicial reforms, and the expulsion of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations NGO amount to “soft fascism.”
Balazs Orban, the political director in Viktor Orban’s office and unrelated to the prime minister, quickly responded.
“Dear Mrs. Clinton,” he wrote on X. “May I share with you what I think the death of democracy is: the desire to imprison your political opponents, the failure to organize elections transparently, and the attempt to replace dissatisfied voters with migrant voters. Which country do you think this applies to?”
“Every reasonable person thinks of this when reading your remarks: ‘first take the log out of your own eye’,” he concluded.
Viktor Orban has openly supported Trump, endorsing his election campaign and meeting with him in Florida earlier this year. The Hungarian leader has claimed that Trump is the only American politician capable of resolving the Ukraine conflict, asserting that the war would not have begun had Trump been in office in 2022.
Balazs Orban’s remarks align with Trump’s criticisms of the Democratic Party. The former president has labeled the various criminal charges against him as attempts to “weaponize” the justice system to thwart his electoral chances this November. He has also claimed that Democrats and allied local officials manipulated the 2020 election for Biden and allowed millions of illegal immigrants to enter the country “because they want to sign these people up to vote.”
During her tenure as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama, Clinton's stance on Orban was notably less critical. During a 2011 visit to Budapest, she praised the prime minister's commitment to rebuilding Hungary’s economy and his efforts to combat corruption that hindered foreign investment.
