Deputy prime minister Zsolt Semjén termed the deportation and expulsion of ethnic Germans from Hungary “a crime of historic proportions”, at a commemoration on Saturday.
Speaking in Elek, in south-eastern Hungary, on the occasion of the anniversary of the expulsion of ethnic Germans after the second world war,
Semjén said this crime had been committed against an ethnic group that had been part of historical Hungary for centuries.
