总理彼得·马扎尔表示，任命其民族主义前任维克托·奥尔班为联合国秘书长将意味着该组织的终结。
Prime Minister Peter Magyar said appointing his nationalist predecessor, Viktor Orban, as United Nations Secretary General would spell the end of the organization.
马扎尔是在回应《华尔街日报》最近的一篇社论，该社论称美国政府已向俄罗斯和中国推荐匈牙利长期领导人奥尔班担任该职务，据信俄中两国支持他。报道援引了这三个国家（均为联合国安理会常任理事国）未具名消息人士的话。
Magyar was responding to a recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal that said the US administration has advocated Hungary’s long-time leader for the role with Russia and China believed to support him. The report cited unnamed sources from the three countries, who are permanent members of the UN Security Council.
“你可以对联合国说很多坏话，但我认为没人想废除它，”马扎尔周四在布拉格的新闻发布会上说。“如果你想毁掉联合国，那就选奥尔班。选他的唯一理由就是这个。”大众对腐败和经济停滞的愤怒使马扎尔在四月的大选中大获全胜，结束了奥尔班长达16年的执政。作为打击前执政精英涉嫌腐败行动的一部分，数名部长和一名前央行行长已被拘留。
“You can say many bad things about the UN, but I don’t think anybody wants to abolish it,” Magyar said at a news conference in Prague on Thursday. “If you want to destroy the UN, then take Orban. That’s the only reason for choosing him.”Popular anger over graft and a stagnant economy catapulted Magyar to a landslide victory in April’s general elections, which ended Orban’s 16 years in power. Several ministers and a former central bank governor have been detained as part of a crackdown on alleged corruption of the previous ruling elite.
马扎尔表示，他认为一个“掠夺祖国、使匈牙利成为欧洲最贫穷和最腐败国家之一的人，不应领导联合国。”奥尔班否认了其任内存在任何不当行为的指控。
Magyar said he doesn’t think a person “who robbed their homeland and made Hungary one of Europe’s poorest and most corrupt countries, should lead the UN.”Orban has denied any allegations of impropriety during his time in office.
接替古特雷斯的提名进程陷入停滞，九名已宣布的候选人均被认为未获得安理会五个拥有否决权的常任理事国全部支持。
The process for nominating a successor to Antonio Guterres is stalled, with none of the nine declared candidates believed to have the support of all five veto-wielding permanent members of the security council.
