We must put an end to the violence; we must go and vote for peace on 9 June 

We must put an end to the violence. We must go and vote for peace on 9 June, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. 

Mr Orbán wrote: with the change of government in the wake of the elections in Slovakia, Slovakia has set out on a path that leads to a pro-peace stance. This was great help for Hungary. “Now, this process has been curbed, shot down,” he posted. 

“A left-wing activist attempted to assassinate the Slovak Prime Minister. During the most important months, Robert Fico will be unable to make a contribution. We hope for his recovery, but today  we have to fight for peace alone,” his post reads.

“From now on, we must fight twice as hard, all on our own. The European elections have become more important than ever before. We must put an end to the violence, we must go and vote for peace on 9 June,” Mr Orbán wrote.
