President of Hungary rejects sanctions against Russia in Brazil

Hungría-Brasil-sanciones-Rusia
Brasilia, Jul 11 ​​(Prensa Latina) The president of Hungary, Katalin Novák, here today rejected sanctions imposed by the West on Russia in the armed conflict with Ukraine, after being received by her Brazilian counterpart, Jair Bolsonaro.

“We know that sanctions adopted do not lead to any results… The economy is deteriorating in the world and there is food insecurity in various parts of the world. These are the dangers that we must avoid,” said Novák after an official ceremony at the Palace of the Planalto (headquarters of the Executive Power).

The Hungarian politician, who has presided over her country since May 10 and has been on an official visit to the South American giant since Saturday with stays also in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, shares with Bolsonaro a conservative agenda in customs, because she is contrary to abortion.

In a joint statement with the far-right president, Novák specified that the sanctions against Moscow do not lead to “any results” and “we want peace, both me and Bolsonaro.”

For his part, the Brazilian president again defended the trip he made to Russia in February and that Brazil wants peace and will do “everything possible” to achieve it.

She reported that she managed, with the visit to Vladimir Putin, to guarantee the supply of fertilizers for the national agribusiness.

“Brazil maintained its balanced position. Of course I would like there to be no war,” she said.

Minutes before receiving the visitor, Bolsonaro told journalists that Brazil can receive diesel from Russia in 60 days.”Russia continues to do business with the whole world,” he argued.

Recently, the ex-military considered on July 7 that the US president, Joe Biden, and Europe “were wrong and pay dearly with the sanctions (on Russia). Their peoples suffer with the price of food, the increase in fuel and the Russian gas cut for Europe”.

Bolsonaro shared a video of the TikTok application of a person, a supposed foreign policy expert, who criticizes the actions of Biden and the European Union in the Ukraine war, as well as the sanctions policy.
