LMP URGES TALKS WITH UK ON HUNGARIAN COMMUNITY

The Hungarian government should initiate talks with the British government “without delay” with a view to protecting the interests of Hungarians living in the United Kingdom, opposition LMP’s Péter Ungár said. The European Union and the UK were unlikely to reach a cooperation agreement postBrexit, and he urged the Hungarian government to form a strategy “to protect the rights of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians working or studying in the UK”. Among the open questions Ungár mentioned were whether Hungarian students would continue to receive the same scholarships as locals and whether rules would apply to employees who have worked less than five years in the UK at the time Britain exits the EU.
