Comment on Hungarian foreign minister claims US ambassador's opinion is 'completely irrelevant'

Hungarian foreign minister claims US ambassador's opinion is 'completely irrelevant'

The Hungarian foreign minister accused the United States ambassador to Budapest on Thursday of trying to interfere in Hungary’s internal affairs, amid a growing diplomatic rift between the U.S. and the Central European country. At a news conference in Budapest, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto lashed out at comments in Politico this week in which Ambassador David Pressman referred to Hungary’s approach to the war in neighboring Ukraine as pushing "policies endorsed by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin." Szijjarto said it is "completely irrelevant what (Pressman) or any other ambassador thinks about the domestic political process in Hungary, because it has nothing to do with him." "It is not his place to interfere in Hungary’s internal affairs," Szijjarto said.
