According to CCTV news, on June 24, two German policemen escorting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban were involved in a serious traffic accident on the way to the airport, killing one and injuring the other.
It is reported that the night before, that is, on June 23, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in order to cheer for the Hungarian football team participating in the group stage of the European Cup, specially flew to Stuttgart, Germany, to watch the European Cup football match held there. The next morning, Orban was ready to fly back.
As the host, the police in Stuttgart, Germany, immediately dispatched a motorcycle and mounted police team to escort Orban to the airport.
In order to ensure the safety of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Germany's traffic police department temporarily closed some roads where the convoy passed in advance to ensure that no suspicious vehicles entered by mistake. Such control measures are common in the international community, after all, the host country has the responsibility to protect the safety of other heads of state in their own countries.
Unexpectedly, at around 11 o'clock in the morning, a German private car, as if it had not seen the road closure facilities of the German police, rushed directly into the German Mounted Police escorting Orban at a very fast speed.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the two German mounted policemen riding motorcycles in the escort team were hit by the private car before they could react, and the strong inertia caused the two to spin in the air several times before falling heavily to the ground. Although the quality of the motorcycle equipped by the German Mounted Police was very good, it also became a pile of debris in the face of such a huge impact.
At first, the German police thought that they had been attacked, but except for some people who stayed behind to take care of the two wounded, the rest of the police officers did not turn off the fire and quickly escorted Orban to the airport. If Orban encounters danger, then Germany will have no place to be ashamed, and relations between Germany and Hungary will definitely fall to a freezing point.
Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger, and Hungarian Prime Minister Orban and his entourage, escorted by the German police, successfully arrived at the airport and got on the return plane.
Unfortunately, one of the two German policemen who were knocked over eventually died in the line of duty due to his injuries and was not resuscitated. The other person, although also seriously injured, was temporarily out of danger.
The German police quickly arrested the driver of the private car and launched an urgent investigation into all the people he had recently contacted and where he had been. After several hours of surprise interrogation, the German police concluded that it was an ordinary traffic accident and not an attack against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
According to the driver of the private car, he was in a bit of a hurry that day, so the car drove very fast, and he did not notice the road closure facilities set up by the German police, and accidentally drove into the convoy escorting Orban and injured two German policemen, for which he said he was very sorry.
However, the German police also said that this is only the result of the investigation under the current circumstances, and that a deeper investigation is needed for this accident, and if there are different results, they will be announced in a timely manner.
After the accident, the international community also talked about it, and many people suspected that this was not an ordinary traffic accident, but a failed attack, and the target was Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
It makes sense to think so, given that in the past two months, heads of state, including Iranian Prime Minister Raisi, have been assassinated or attacked, most of which have been disguised as accidents.
It just so happens that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is more distinctive among European and American countries, and he is unwilling to follow most European countries and become the followers of certain countries, and he pays attention to independent foreign policy. Because of this, Hungary has always had good relations with Russia and China over the years, and he himself has mentioned many times that some people have long looked at him unpleasantly.
Imagine what would have happened if the high-speed private car had crashed into Orban's car, killing him on the spot. Because it happened in Germany, the incident would have been described as an ordinary traffic accident. Then, those countries will rush to Hungary and prop up an obedient agent to become prime minister.
The international community is now in turmoil, and this incident may not be so simple. Even if the inside story behind today's events is buried, with the passage of time, one day the truth will be revealed.
However, it is recommended that the Hungarian side also send an investigation team to participate in the investigation of the accident to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the investigation. If, in the end, after a joint investigation, Germany and Hungary both consider it to be an ordinary traffic accident, then the matter can be properly closed.
Otherwise, the Hungarian Prime Minister would not have been able to sleep, after all, the enemy, hiding in the shadows, after the failure of this operation, it is difficult to say that a second attack will not be launched.
What do you think about this incident, whether it was an ordinary traffic accident or an assassination attempt that failed?
