MENCZER: OPPOSITION 'PLOTTING' WITH ROMANIA AMBASSADOR

 

Hungary’s opposition, with special regard to Tímea Szabó, co-leader of the Párbeszéd party, have “involved in anti-Hungarian activitieós in cooperation with the Romanian ambassador”, Tamás Menczer, state secretary at the foreign ministry, told public television M1.
Szabó has recently opposed the government’s donating face masks to ethnic Hungarians in other countries, and the Romanian ambassador to Hungary took her side on social media. Menczer referred to Szabó as a “disciple” of leftist leader Ferenc Gyurcsány, who “regularly attacks Hungarians beyond the borders”. Menczer insisted that only 1% of Hungary’s supplies of face masks have been donated to Hungarian communities in other countries, adding that “Szabó has resented that one percent”.
