- The matters that unite not only Poland and Hungary, which are strategic for the future of our countries, are the concern that we strengthen our sovereignty and independence, cooperating with each other and defending ourselves both against imperialist actions from the East and against Western expansion. And I am referring here not only to German economic expansion,\" Marshal Marek Kuchcinski, chairman of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, argued today at the Summer University in Krasiczyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker Kuchcinski, in turn, addressed the issue of the difference in views regarding the war in Ukraine and their impact on Polish-Hungarian relations. - In my view, the issues that unite not only Poland and Hungary, and which are strategic for the future of our countries, is the concern that we strengthen our sovereignty and independence by cooperating with each other and defending ourselves against imperialist actions from the East, but also against Western expansion. And I mean here not only German economic expansion,\" noted MP Marek Kuchcinski. The chairman of the Sejm's Foreign Affairs Committee stressed that Poles and Hungarians have a similar point of view when it comes to the future of the European Union. - We would like to be treated as states, nations and societies in the Union as partners, and both our nations are experiencing that this is not the case,\" Speaker Kuchcinski stressed, noting that \"we are dealing with a crisis of European institutions\" and \"growing Euroscepticism. The Law and Justice politician also noted that the governments in Budapest and Warsaw also share a similar point of view regarding the dangers of migration from Africa to Europe, the negative effects of which were experienced mainly by Hungarians in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Therefore, a different attitude towards Russia or towards the war in Ukraine does not obscure the forward-looking cooperation that has taken place between Poland and Hungary for hundreds of years,\" Marek Kuchcinski argued, encouraging that mutual differences should be approached \"with understanding and distance. Speaker Kuchcinski also noted that the challenge for those in power in Central European countries is an effective information policy. - This is well illustrated by a situation in which one prime minister says something, and then a word or phrase is published in the media out of context, and this creates a lot of noise in the other country, whose prime minister is forced to respond, and the spiral spirals up, the chairman of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee explained. - Only later, when the ambassadors provide the whole context, it turns out that the words spoken were unnecessary. So I think it is necessary to pay attention to this,\" Kuchcinski added, noting that the fact that Poland and Hungary have different attitudes toward Russia has been known for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fifth edition of the Polish-Hungarian Summer University of the School of Leaders, a prestigious event organized annually by the Waclaw Felczak Institute for Polish-Hungarian Cooperation, lasted from August 22 to 26 at the castle in Krasiczyn. Among the topics of this year's edition could not miss analyses of relations between the superpowers, as well as the impact of the war in Ukraine on the global energy market or European food supplies. Krasiczyn is also buzzing about how recent changes on the global chessboard have affected Polish-Hungarian relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
