Government to pay for PCR tests required for travels by recipients of Eastern jabs?

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has called on the government to cover the cost of PCR tests for Hungarians who wish to travel abroad but were inoculated with coronavirus vaccines that are not approved in European Union countries.
 
Zoltán Varga, spokesman of DK’s parliamentary group, noted that his party had warned the government repeatedly of the difficulties recipients of the Chinese and Russia vaccines would face because most European countries only accept vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency.
 
Varga said the cabinet should bear the extra costs of tests and apologise for having misled the public that those inoculated with Eastern vaccines would be allowed to travel unimpeded.

In response, ruling
Fidesz accused the “anti-vaxxer left wing” of fabricating and disseminating fake news.
In reality, Hungarians are allowed to enter several countries, including Croatia, Turkey and the Czech Republic without having to go into quarantine or present a test result, irrespective of the vaccine they have been inoculated with, Fidesz said in a statement.

  1. Fidesz conveniently forgets that we ARE part of the EU. Which means playing by the rules of the 27 Member bloc. Going against the rules means … Collateral damage. Politics for you. And in their view – staycations are probably better, anyway!

  3. Gabor obviously would have preferred if he died as a result of coronavirus like a lot of ‘obedient’
    EU people from the so called member countries have as a result of the EU’s corrupt and incompetent
    handling of the vaccine program.
    How can you be so blind??????!!!!!!!
    Or perhaps you are ‘part’ of the agenda.
    Destroy those who do not agree with your corrupt policies.
    This is nothing less than destructive colonisation.
    How many times do we have to point out that Hungary has joined the EU for TRADE, NOT TO BE DICTATED TO by failed and corrupt politicians.
