DK TO FILE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST PM FOR PEOPLE SMUGGLING

 

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has announced that it would file a criminal complaint against the Hungarian prime minister for people smuggling and promotion of illegal border crossing.

DK deputy leader Csaba Molnár said that Viktor Orbán’s government “has been lying” about former Macedonian PM Nikola Gruevski’s fleeing to Hungary and pointed to Albanian press reports that Gruevski had left Albania in a car belonging to the Hungarian embassy in Tirana. “The government is not only hiding a convicted criminal but has helped him illegally cross the border,” Molnár insisted.

The DK politician demanded that the government should disclose details of “smuggling the criminal into Hungary” and proposed that parliament should have the affair on its agenda next Monday.
