Without any hesitation, he went from criticizing the “bureaucrats<\/em>” of Europe for “one of the most serious examples of foreign electoral interference<\/em>” he had ever seen, and accusing them of trying to “destroy Hungary’s economy<\/em>“, to saying that he is “here to help him in this electoral campaign”<\/em> and expecting Orb\u00e1n to win Sunday’s vote, writes The Guardian.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Vance stated that he sees Orb\u00e1n as a leader who “defends his country fiercely<\/em>“, “upholds the values of Western civilization”<\/em> and is right in numerous areas, from energy to the stance on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n

However, the evident contradiction at the heart of his criticisms against “external interference”<\/em> will undoubtedly raise questions throughout the rest of Europe.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

His repeated attacks on “Brussels” and Ukraine – two of Orb\u00e1n’s main targets in this campaign – will fuel the concerns of other European leaders, who must decide how to react to this new reality in which the US Vice President “does not intervene at all”<\/em> in an election from an EU member state.<\/p>\n\n
