If we had not acted, then places like Isfahan, Natanz, Fordow, and Bushehr would be remembered like Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Sobibor.

The people of Hungary have spoken, and they have reclaimed their European path. It is a victory for fundamental freedoms.

Our union is stronger and more united; it was an exceptional evening yesterday.

The ceasefire in Iran could be reversed very quickly.

Moving to qualified majority voting in foreign policy is an important way to avoid systematic blockages, as we've seen in the past.

We should use the momentum now really to move forward on that topic.

Hungary has made its choice. We respect this choice.

We expect to continue our very pragmatic contacts with the new leadership of Hungary.

We heard the statement about the readiness to engage in dialogue. Of course, this will be useful for Moscow and Budapest.

We are interested in building good relations with Hungary, as well as with all the countries of Europe.

I do not believe Hungary’s elections will affect the situation around the Russia–Ukraine conflict.

Russia’s proposal to accept Iran’s enriched uranium remains on the table, but it has not been taken up.

We will refrain from interfering in the domestic affairs of any other country.

We ask the same of all foreign countries for Hungary.

Orbán played such a five-dimensional chess game, and this was probably one of the reasons for his defeat, among others.

He talked about everything: Ukraine, Russia, Iran, the Iranian Shah, the Iranian Ayatollah, the US presidential election.

Probably, if he had been woken from his sleep, he would have said that he won the US presidential election, not Donald Trump.

Viktor Orbán talked about everything except for the problems affecting the Hungarian people.

The Kremlin has spoken, and Beijing has spoken.

I thank them for their respectful acceptance of the decision of the Hungarian electorate, the Hungarian people, and they are also open to pragmatic cooperation, just as Hungary is, because geography is geography.

I am personally very grateful and relieved about this clear election result in Hungary.

This shows that our democratic societies are more resilient than many believe. Our democracies can withstand Russian propaganda and foreign interference.

Right-wing populism suffered a heavy defeat in Hungary — this is not only about Hungary. A clear signal has come from Hungary against right-wing populism worldwide.

The war in Iran is the actual cause of the problems that we are also facing in our own country.

We are doing everything in our power to ensure that this war is ended.

I was not surprised by the decision to break off the talks in Islamabad.

I did not have the impression from the beginning that they were really well prepared.

This will now be a longer process.

We will continue to feel the consequences of the war in Iran for a long time, even after it is over.

We are preparing ourselves for a prolonged period of significant strain on the German economy, and therefore also on private households.

His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person.

I wish you glory by Allah.
