Addressing the opening of a public interest event, Németh called “dramatic” the recent premeditated assassination attempt against former US president Donald Trump and earlier against Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

“The escalation of violence and aggression must be protested against. It is unacceptable and goes against all what Tusványos had been launched for 33 years ago,” he said.

Németh said that in the European Parliament “a majority has been formed which tramples on the basic rules of EP procedures disallowing thereby the distribution of position in proportion of the mandates,” and called for protesting against confrontation and standing up for cooperation and dialogue.

“We want to build a country and Europe where different ways of thinking, different views and political approaches can coexist,” he said.
