On April 13, Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, declared that the European Union will accelerate its disintegration following Hungary’s parliamentary election results.
In a post on social media platform X, Dmitriev stated: “This will only accelerate the disintegration of the EU. Check if I’m right in four months.”
Dmitriev also warned that the victory of Hungary’s opposition Tisa party, led by Peter Magyar, would result in Hungary’s collapse and that the country would follow the historical paths of Britain, France, and Germany.
“The death of Europe is spreading,” Dmitriev concluded.
On the same day, Peter Magyar announced that Hungary would resume its comprehensive participation in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), as well as join the European Prosecutor’s Office. Magyar indicated he would travel to Warsaw first, followed by Vienna and Brussels, to secure EU funding.
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban described the election results on April 12 as “understandable and painful” for his Fidesz party but affirmed that the party would continue serving the country and its people even in opposition.
