Ani de insulte tratate cu un pic de dos
Iohannis a participat, pe 7 noiembrie, la Summitul Comunitatii Politice Europene (CPE), gazduit de Ungaria. Cand a coborat din masina, in stilul sau caracteristic, in loc sa se indrepte direct catre Viktor Orban, Iohannis s-a intors catre fashionista Delia, a privit-o in ochii ei goi, dupa care si-a bagat mobilul in buzunarul de la spate al pantalonilor, ca un meltean. Apoi, pivotand cu gratia lui Frankenstein proaspat resuscitat, s-a intors si s-a indreptat catre gazda sa, care il astepta, usor contrariata.
Presa partizana din Romania l-a criticat imediat, acuzandu-l pe seful statului roman ca i-a intors spatele premierului ungar.
In opinia mea, Iohannis pare ca a cerut “permisiunea” de la fashinista pentru a participa la intalnire. Totusi, sa presupunem, pentru o clipa, ca Iohannis i-a aratat intentionat spatele lui Orban.
In acest scenariu, ma vad nevoit sa va reamintesc doua lucruri: numeroasele provocari ale lui Viktor Orban la adresa Romaniei si campania dezlantuita impotriva lui Iohannis, despre care presa partizana spune ca este pasiv, ca nu apara interesele Romaniei, ca nu ia atitudine, etc.
De pe pamant romanesc, nu mai devreme de 2024, Orban a afirmat: „Chiar și acum, Vestul și-a prezentat așteptarea, instrucțiunile, conform cărora lumea ar trebui să se împotrivească Rusiei și să se alieze cu Vestul din considerente morale. În contrast, realitatea a devenit că toată lumea susține încet-încet Rusia.”
Tot Orban declara: ”Ei scriu să nu vorbim despre unități administrative teritoriale românești neexistente. M-am gândit la ce s-au referit, cred că la Ardeal și Ținutul Secuiesc. Dar noi nu am afirmat niciodată că acestea ar fi unități teritoriale române”.
In 2022, acelasi Orban a aparaut purtand un fular pe care era inscriptionata harta Ungariei Mari.
Nu am pretentii de la presa partizana. Latratorii acestor trusturi se contrazic in aceeasi propozitie. Am insa pretentii de la romani. Nu voi sunteti cei care spuneti ca vreti un presedinte-jucator? Un presedinte care sa va reprezinte? Nu de alta, dar romanii melteni s-au simtit cel mai bine reprezentati de Basescu.
Vor spune anlafabetii functionali ca recent, Ungaria a sustinut aderarea Romaniei la spatiul Schenghen. Orban sustine Romania pentru ca stie, de la stapanii lor austrieci, ca fara autostrazi nu suntem primiti. Orban sustine Romania in Schenghen la fel cum l-a sustinut pe Iohannis la sefia NATO. In bataie de joc.
Cand il veti auzi pe Orban sustinand Romania pentru “campioana mondiala la videochat” abia atunci sa nu va indoiti de sinceritatea lui.
Dupa ani de zile de insulte, Iohannis i-a aratat lui Orban un pic de dos. Demn si politicos. Asa cum ar trebui sa faca un presedinte.
Years of Insults, Met with a Touch of Dismissal
On November 7th, President Klaus Iohannis attended the European Political Community (EPC) Summit, hosted by Hungary. As he exited his car, true to form, instead of heading straight towards Viktor Orbán, Iohannis turned to face fashionista Delia, gazed into her vacuous eyes, then tucked his phone into his back pocket—a gesture bordering on the uncouth. He then pivoted with all the grace of a reanimated Frankenstein and made his way towards his host, who appeared slightly bemused.
Romania’s partisan press was quick to pounce, accusing the president of snubbing the Hungarian prime minister by turning his back. Personally, I suspect Iohannis sought approval from the fashionista before engaging in the meeting. But let’s assume, for a moment, that Iohannis deliberately showed Orbán the cold shoulder.
In this scenario, I must remind you of two things: the numerous provocations towards Romania orchestrated by Viktor Orbán and the relentless media campaign against Iohannis, criticizing him for passivity, failure to defend Romania’s interests, and a lack of assertiveness.
From Romanian soil, as recently as 2024, Orbán has barked: “Even now, the West has presented its expectations, its instructions, that the world should oppose Russia and ally with the West on moral grounds. In contrast, the reality is that the whole world is gradually siding with Russia.” He also declared: “They write that we shouldn’t speak of non-existent Romanian territorial units. I thought about what they meant—likely Transylvania and the Szeklerland. But we never claimed these were Romanian territories.”
In 2022, the same Orbán paraded around with a scarf bearing a map of Greater Hungary.
I have no expectations from the partisan press. The mouthpieces of these media conglomerates contradict themselves within a single sentence. But I do have expectations from Romanians. Don’t you say you want a proactive president? A president who represents you? After all, didn’t Romanians feel best represented by Băsescu?
The functionally illiterate will argue that Hungary recently supported Romania’s Schengen accession. Orbán supports Romania because he knows, as dictated by their Austrian masters, that we won’t be admitted without highways. Orbán’s support for Romania in Schengen is as sincere as his support for Iohannis’ bid for NATO leadership—a joke.
When you hear Orbán cheering for Romania as the world champion in video chatting, only then should you consider his sincerity genuine.
After years of insults, Iohannis showed Orbán a touch of dismissal—dignified and polite. Just as a president should.
