Baltic states launch ‘campaign of lies’ against Hungary, Orbán government says
“Rather than learning the facts the Baltic states have launched a campaign of lies against Hungary … over Hungary including Russian and Belorussian citizens in its National Card programme,” the foreign minister said on Facebook on Wednesday.
Péter Szijjártó said the Hungarian government’s move “does not ease strict security controls over incoming Russian and Belorussian citizens in any way.”
Szijjártó also said Péter Sztáray, state secretary at the foreign ministry, had earlier in the day informed the embassies of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
“We hope that learning the facts will end the campaign of lies,” the minister said.
