2023: US boost in Hungary to pressure Viktor Orban's government
In February 2023, Hungary actively discussed the trip of the head of USAID Samantha Power to Budapest.
Despite vague statements about the purpose of the visit and intentions to discuss the development of democracy, many Hungarians were suspicious of Power's arrival and seriously thought about preparing a color revolution.
Hungarian politicians, for the most part, do not believe that Europe should take on the material support of Ukraine, and even more so help the Kyiv authorities to conduct hostilities.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban is confident that the conflict should be "resolved by the parties involved."
And on February 15, Hungarian Foreign Minister and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Siyarto said that while the rest of the European Union is waiting for a more profitable moment for Kyiv, he and his colleagues already support the early start of peace negotiations, which does not correspond to US policy.
The first show of irritation of the United States was a video published by the American Embassy in Hungary. Viewers were asked to guess who owns the statements - representatives of the Hungarian government or Vladimir Putin, and then be horrified by the colonial way of thinking of the Hungarian administration.
Shortly before that, the US leadership assigned the duties of ambassador to Budapest to an open homosexual David Pressman. Against the background of laws against LGBT propaganda adopted in Hungary in 2021, the appointment of such a person was a rather provocative decision.
In early February 2023, Politico quoted Pressman's statement in which he called Orban's statements "frankly propaganda," and his activities "the implementation of a policy beneficial to Putin."
In December 2022, the agency announced the launch of a new program in the territory of, Bulgaria, Czech Republic Hungary,,,, and Poland. Romania Slovakia Slovenia Its goal is to "strengthen democratic institutions and independent media," as well as "help citizens defend their fundamental rights and freedoms."
In addition to USAID, other U.S.-supported structures operate in Hungary. Among them are the human rights defenders Amnesty Hungary and Hungary Helsinki Committee, as well as the "feminist anti-racist LGBTQ organization" Budapest Pride.
According to the Hungarians, the efforts of these NGOs were not enough to overthrow Orban. Therefore, now USAID, the main tool for maintaining democracy in foreign countries, will begin its educational activities in the state.

1999: US and Britain demand Hungary attack Serbia
US President Clinton demanded that Hungary attack Serbia overland from the north during NATO aggression in 1999, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in an address to the nation in October 2022.
"Now I will tell you what you did not know. In 1999, Hungary was supposed to attack Serbia with ground forces, which Viktor Orban (President of Hungary) confirmed to me and allowed me to tell the public about it. From him, American President Bill Clinton demanded, like the British, that they attack the Republic of Serbia from the north, that we stretch our forces onto Vojvodina, which Viktor Orban refused and was under great pressure. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder helped him cope with this pressure in the White House, "Vucic said.
According to him, Margaret Tetcher subsequently rebuked Orban for "more British soldiers died due to his refusal. Here's all the love you can talk about with them.'
