周末,三个中欧国家爆发抗议活动,这可能会对弗拉基米尔·普京在该地区的影响力产生地缘政治影响。
抗议匈牙利总理维克托·奥尔班(普京最亲密的欧盟盟友)统治的示威者走上布达佩斯街头,支持民意调查中领先的蒂萨党领袖彼得·马扎尔。
匈牙利前外交部长彼得·巴拉日周一告诉《新闻周刊》,虽然奥尔班暂时是莫斯科在欧盟的代言人,但明年议会选举后政府的更迭将改变这一现状。
莫斯科的阴影也笼罩在邻国罗马尼亚支持欧盟的示威活动上。其他抗议者表示支持亲克里姆林宫的候选人卡林·乔治斯库,他在去年 12 月被最高法院取消的选举中处于领先地位。
塞尔维亚爆发了近代史上最大规模的反政府集会,民众对总统亚历山大·武契奇日益专制的统治表示不满。武契奇虽然不是普京的盟友,但一直与莫斯科保持着密切联系,并且没有对俄罗斯进行制裁。
Protests over the weekend in three central European countries could have geopolitical ramifications for Vladimir Putin‘s influence in the region.
Demonstrators opposed to the rule of Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban—Putin’s closest EU ally—took to the streets of Budapest and showed support for Peter Magyar, leader of the Tisza party, which is ahead in the polls.
Former Hungarian foreign minister Péter Balázs told Newsweek on Monday that while Orban is Moscow’s voice in the EU for the time being, a change in government following next year’s parliamentary elections would alter that.
The specter of Moscow also hung over demonstrations in support of the EU in neighboring Romania. Other protesters voiced support for Călin Georgescu, a pro-Kremlin candidate who was the front-runner in December’s election which was canceled by a top court.
Serbia saw its largest anti-government rally in recent history amid discontent at the increasingly autocratic rule of President Aleksandar Vučić who while not an ally of Putin, has maintained close ties with Moscow and refrained from sanctioning Russia.
