A Hungarian fan is still in detention in Munich
Last week’s football European championships qualifier between Germany and Hungary in Munich is “not yet over for all Hungarians”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook on Monday, referring to the German police’s action against Hungarian soccer fans.
On the day of the match, on June 23, German police detained 18 Hungarians in the city, 16 of whom were later released.
Szijjarto in his post said that one of the two Hungarian fans was released over the weekend and had already travelled home.
The other fan is still in detention, he said, adding that the Hungarian consulate general is continuing to monitor the situation with the Hungarian citizen’s lawyer.

I think we would ALL like to know the reason for his detention.
Unless we know what the “charges” are, we will be excused for thinking:
It is a deliberate and unlawful aggression against innocent fans?
We already know that the HUNGARIAN FANS HAVE BEEN DELIBERATELY SINGLED OUT.
Is it specifically against Hungarians?
Perhaps the Germans were afraid the cheer-squad might have inspired the Hungarian team to win?
If he has committed some “crime” what is it?
We all want to know, I am sure the whole world wants to know.
All this “cloak and dagger” mystery………..
The immediate deduction from this is: DO NOT GO TO GERMANY TO WATCH FOOTBALL ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO KNEEL IF THE EU DICTATES YOU SHOULD
OR TRY TO BRING A LAW INTO EFFECT IN YOUR COUNTRY TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM UNDESIRABLE SEXUAL INDOCTRINATION.
HOW SICK CAN YOU GET.
Remember a the failed politician in his country (who then got a “plum job” in the EU) suggested to
force Hungary on its knees.
This seems to be the case, you failed in politics in your country or had some charges against you,
never mind, you are just the right person to become one of the decision-makers in the EU.
Stupid is as stupid does. Sorry get over your inferiority and persecution complexes. No one really cares about Hungary. (Except for the monies it steals from the EU.) It’s a trifling little former empire that generally stands on the wrong side of history. Again…
To GetSmart,
You are having yourself on.
Who do you think is looking stupid all you can do is DISTORT AND ATTACK
Give us some FACTS, not just dirt.
We give about the same as we receive from the EU.
Dear FACTS

Numbers speak.
In absolute terms Hungary is the second biggest recipient of EU funds. Per-capita, far away number one.
Yes I know the Gov tells you otherwise. Search a little and learn.
Unlike some others, Germany is not a country where one stays detained without good reason.
P.s. inforfacts, that is why Orbán will never want to leave the EU.
Hungary Today has a detailed list of these Hungarians’ offenses. One person was arrested for showing an Odal tattoo. Others were arrested for giving a Nazi salute. It’s an interesting list, check it out.
