FM Szijjártó slams US for ‘nonsensical’ accusation against Hungary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a “nonsensical accusation” against Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on his Facebook page on Thursday.
Szijjártó: This is nonsensical
Szijjártó said Blinken had criticised Hungary over the freedom of religion, saying officials used “anti-Semitic tropes”.
“This accusation is especially nonsensical from the foreign minister of a country where attacks of intimidation against Jewish people have increased dramatically in the recent period and where anti-Semitic unrest has taken place at universities,” the minister said.
“Meanwhile, Israel’s national team and football clubs will play their matches in Hungary again in the next season because they feel safe here,” he said.

Cardinal Peter Erdo – come on, jump in on this ONE – put the PLACE of the Holy Roman Catholic “Universal” Church – the religion of 43% of Hungarians are Baptized into, of WHOM, as the Cardinal, representative of the Pope Francis – the Holy See, come on – “Be not Afraid” – lets hear from YOU.
Help you out a little.
Pope Francis in recent months said ;
” We must all Respect each other.
Everyone.”
Go non Peter, pick the pen up, or dictate to one of your Secretary’s – the POSITION of the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Hungary – you in your Cardinalship position – the “Spiritual” Leader” of the 43% – of the Hungarian population – take a position, get “off the bench” – be a LEADER – by being HEARD not being “un-available” for comment.
Do I need to remind you – that Christ Jesus was a Jew.
