In his post, Mr Orbán summarised the incidents when the Swedish government acted against Hungary in seven points.
"A quick reminder," the Prime Minister wrote, first mentioning the case when Sweden intervened against Hungary in the child protection law infringement case, and then in the sovereignty protection law infringement case.
"You voted to exclude most Hungarian universities from Erasmus & Horizon and to freeze more than half of our EU funds," Mr Orbán recalled, adding that Sweden intervened against Hungary in court when we challenged the Commission's discriminatory Erasmus/Horizon decision.
They continuously push the next phase of Article 7, with a minister even making remarks such as: 'We must raise our voice for children.'
In continuation, Mr Orbán wrote: the Swedish EU-minister vowed to 'put additional pressure on Hungary,' simply because we do not support Ukraine's EU accession.
The Prime Minister recalled that the Swedish government had been among those governments that had pushed the Migration Pact through, despite the previous Council decision that had called for unanimity regarding this very sensitive subject. This puts Hungary's security at direct risk.
"In Hungary, we would call this behaviour many things, but friendly is certainly not one of them," Mr Orbán wrote in his post.
The Prime Minister added: "Every country has its problems. In Sweden, migration is one. Yet unlike you, we do not meddle in the sovereignty or internal affairs of others, and do not lecture other countries - we do, however, continue to worry for you and the Swedish people."
