Abstract

The steps of the foreign policy of the Hungarian government are considered a series of interest-driven, super-pragmatic decisions that consist of ideology-based considerations, but mainly serve pure political and economic interests to broaden the room for international manoeuvres. This study explains the driving forces of pragmatic Hungarian foreign policy thinking, especially how this idea shifted in the light of the Russian-Ukrainian war as the most overwhelming crisis for Europe. The consistent behaviour of Hungarian diplomacy and mutual distrust increased the tension between Hungary and its allies, the EU, and NATO. The analysis used the elements of critical discourse analysis to introduce and help understand the foreign policy strategy of Hungary.
