The incredible true story
of why Orbán was called a dictator
By hacking into EU
servers, WikiLeaks has uncovered the story of how Luxembourg’s
socialist(!)
Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn came to make his infamous statement
alleging that Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán is a “dictator”. On the
surface, it appeared to be about the draconian new media law in
Hungary. While the correspondence below made public by WikiLeaks is
not conclusive evidence, the heated exchanges do suggest that –
just as the Hungarian government has claimed – there is indeed a
vast international anti-Fidesz conspiracy controlled by the communist
opposition in Hungary. Above all, however, the story illustrates the
potential disastrous effects of a malfunctioning e-mail server.

Hey Jean,
Did you see this?
“Hungarian
media law further endangers media freedom, says OSCE media freedom
representative”
These people are lunatics.
Why can’t these goddamn Eastern Europeans come up with a normal
government for once???? Gotta go, Rompi on the phone.

Oopsy-daisy. My most
profound apologies, Ms Szijjártó. I am utterly flustered by this
turn of events, but I meant to write to my colleague Jean Asselborn
in Luxembourg. It appears that our e-mail system is (again)
mismatching names in the address book with other persons’ e-mail
addresses, which is why you received my previous message in error.
You wouldn’t believe the money we spent on this system and it still
keeps doing that. (I think the contractor was Slovakian, btw). Just
last week, I meant to e-mail Hillary Clinton some confidential
information concerning EU-American bilateral relations and the
message went instead to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, of all people.
I cannot tell you how
profoundly sorry and embarrassed I am, and I would like to inform
you, and of course His Excellency the Prime Minister, that my private
message did not at all refer to him or the Hungarian government. In
fact, I was writing to Mr Asselborn on a matter entirely unrelated to
the events going on in Hungary and any interpretation suggesting
otherwise would be mistaken.
At the same time, I
must unfortunately also take this opportunity to regretfully inform
you that we will not
be able to post the Political
Declaration of the Hungarian National Assembly on National
Cooperation (hereinafter:
NENYI) in the European Parliament and the European Commission
building, the Berlaymont. While you are technically correct in saying
that these are public buildings and as such subject to the legal
requirement that they display the NENYI, we feel obliged to point out
that as of yet Brussels is not in all matters required to follow
Hungarian laws.
I hope you understand our
difficult position and I wish to emphasise our infinite goodwill
towards yourself, the Prime Minister and the Hungarian National
System of Cooperation (NER).
Yours sincerely,
Baroness Catherine Ashton
High Representative of the
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

Dear Baroness Ashton,
I am in receipt of
your letter sent yesterday to my colleague Péter Szijjártó,
Spokesman for His Excellency Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. In the
name of the Hungarian government and the System of (Inter)National
Cooperation, we must protest most vehemently against the insinuations
questioning the Prime Minister’s sanity in your first message.
We require an urgent and
public apology for your unacceptable statement.
Furthermore, we must
insist that you do display the NENYI in all EU buildings. We might
make an exception for some restrooms, but apart from that we require
NENYI coverage to be complete.
To facilitate this
process, we wish to remind you that the wife of our Minister for the
National Economy, Mrs György Matolcsy, now handles all European
pension accounts. As you know, we
are committed to your free choice in all matters relating to your
private retirement savings,
and to show you the depth of our commitment to your free choice, we
might choose to nationalise your account for you.
We also know where you
live.
We look forward to your
detailed and public apology.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gergely Prőhle
Executive Vice
President/Minister of State
Hungarian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs
PS: You have until 1
PM tomorrow to comply with our demands.

Dear Mr Prőhle,
While I understand
your frustration, I must point out that physically threatening an EU
official is not acceptable practice in European circles. Neither are
our pensions in Brussels fair game for the Hungarian government’s
nationalisation policies. There is a reason it’s called
nationalisation.
Also, we do not normally use terms such as “comply with our
demands” in intra-EU communication.
As for the NENYI, I must
decline again.
I am sorry that security
revoked your entry authorisation to European Parliament and European
Commission facilities. It appears that the cyber division of our
security team flagged your message because of its menacing language
and determined that you are a threat. We are working to clear up the
misunderstanding.
Sincerely,
Baroness Catherine Ashton
High Representative of the
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

As per your request, we

over the past thirty years and we are glad that you have chosen such

Jean, Cathy, you
gotta stop this now. We have enough trouble with the whole “dictator”
scandal as it is. The German
liberals are going crazy and demand sanctions
against Budapest. Jeez, you’d think Stalin is haunting Hungary
again.
Also, my former boss
Wilfried
Martens just called and he
was very agitated. He was speaking French to me, and that’s always
a bad sign. He said Orbán was a great European and he hasn’t liked
any Hungarian politician this much since that Kádár guy visited him
in 1987 (omg, this guy Wilfried has been around forever, no?). So he
says to back off.
And then there is my
security policy adviser who argues that we must stop infuriating
every little tinpot dictator because one day one of them will go and
build a nuke and blast us all to hell. No thank you, right?
So I decided that annoying
as they may be, the German liberals should be easiest to handle. I
can’t stand Wilfried speaking French and I most certainly don’t
want to be nuked.
Luv ya guys, à bientôt,
Rompi
PS: Cathy, do you have any
idea why the folks here at the Berlaymont can’t access their
private pensions accounts?
PPS: Jean, are we still on
for lunch next Tuesday? Will you take me again to that favourite
restaurant of yours, “Chez Communist Restoration in Hungary”?
