FM: Bad to watch Polish diplomacy sink into a mud of lies

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said late on Monday that he had great respect for Polish diplomacy, so it was “bad to watch it sinking into a mud of lies”. He said on Facebook that he would “reiterate for the thousandth time” that during Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s recent peace mission, the prime minister was representing Hungary and not the European Union. Szijjártó said it was not wise to talk about isolation in the case of a prime minister and government that were the only ones left in Europe still able to maintain relations both with the West and the East. “We’re waiting for our Polish brothers to return to central Europe,” he said.
