Fidesz parl group leader: “we are waiting for explanation on Swedish film about Hungary”

The ruling parties’ parliamentary groups have been unable to make a supportive decision on Sweden’s NATO accession as they are waiting for an explanation on the “defamatory” film made on Hungary by Sweden’s public television, Fidesz’s group leader said on Thursday.

Máté Kocsis told a press conference during a break at the two-day meeting of the parties’ parliamentary groups in Esztergom, northern Hungary, that the two parliamentary groups had watched the film, in which “shocking lies” are told. One of Hungary’s “best-known left-wing activists”, Márton Gulyás, also appears in it, but viewers are not informed that he is a political opponent of the current Hungarian governing parties, he added.

The ruling parties’ parliamentary groups are completely baffled, Kocsis added, as to “how the Swedes think that the Hungarian parliament and the two parliamentary groups will enthusiastically support Sweden’s NATO accession after such actions.” “We are waiting for an explanation from the Swedes in the matter”, he said.
