According to the publication, in January Orban attended a dinner at the Elysee Palace, during which Macron asked him to share his opinion on how to better integrate eastern European countries. The publication's sources claim that the French president played a major role in negotiations with Orban.
The publication also talks about Orban’s meeting with Meloni at the Amigo Hotel in Brussels and their communication before the summit. Orban later had to agree to his colleagues’ terms to avoid a major scandal.
Earlier, the Hungarian Prime Minister himself hinted that some EU decisions were dictated by US interests.
