168 - Hungary: The sabotage on Nord Streams is an Act of State Terrorism

24 August 2024 - Hungarian Foreign Minister: sabotage on Nord Streams is an act of state terrorism


Sabotage on the Nord Streams is an Act of state terrorism.

After all, if the authorities of any state are involved in organizing or committing a gas pipeline explosion, then such an action should be qualified as such.


As Zoltan Kovacs, Secretary of State for International Communications under the Hungarian government, reported on his social network page, this was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó.

The official also criticized the EU leadership's response to the sabotage.

According to Szijjártó, it took the incident too lightly.

"Any response must be proportionate to the severity of such an attack"

- Kovacs quotes the opinion of the Hungarian Foreign Minister.

FM Péter Szijjártó has criticised the European Union's response to the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, accusing the EU of either applauding or ignoring the incident.

"For years, the European Union has been rejoicing over the fact that a large part of the infrastructure that guarantees the security of Europe's energy supply was blown up in a terrorist attack," he said, pointing out the lack of a serious investigation into the case.

Minister Szijjártó expressed disbelief at the explanations given for the attack, rejecting the idea that "two diving instructors and three enthusiastic students" could have carried out the attack. 

He called it "state terrorism" when a state was involved, stressing that the response must be appropriate to such a serious act.

Protecting Hungary’s sovereignty is not a “question of political ideology”, but a “matter of life and death”, Szijjártó said. He said Hungary’s insistence on protecting its sovereignty
