Miklós Soltész, State Secretary for Church and Minority Relations, has praised the care Hungary has provided for refugees from Ukraine after visiting aid points at the Hungary-Ukraine border on Wednesday.
Speaking in Beregsurány near the border, Soltész said Hungarian law enforcement, local councils, government offices, charity groups and volunteers have done an “excellent” job helping refugees even though the country was “often subjected to ignoble attacks from the Ukrainian political sphere, including the Ukrainian president”. Hungarians helped the refugees “in spite of the ignoble attacks, in spite of attempts to interfere in the Hungarian election system and even in spite of the fact that the ethnic Hungarian community in Transcarpathia has unfortunately been subjected to many attacks and decisions in recent years that have made their lives more difficult”, Soltész said.
