Opposition party demands Hungarian govt to provide free COVID-19 tests
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has turned to the European Commission regarding travel with coronavirus certificates that fail to show the type of vaccine received by the card holder, an MEP of the party said on Saturday.
Sándor Rónai told an online press conference that the Orbán government had “once again let down Hungarians in connection with the coronavirus”.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has promised that Hungarians would not suffer any disadvantage if they wanted to travel in EU countries, and that the Chinese and Russian vaccines would not be a problem, Rónai said.
In view of the fact that the government is seeking individual deals with certain countries, it is already clear that the Hungarian vaccination certificate would not be valid everywhere, he added.

The main problem is that the vaccination certificates issued by the Orbán government fail to show what type of vaccine their holder received, Rónai said.
“The Orbán government, which had political and financial reasons to get eastern vaccines, is intentionally hiding from receiving countries that many Hungarians were inoculated with Eastern vaccines and not Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Janssen,” he said.
Many people have been turned back at borders or they had to produce instant coronavirus test results in order to gain entry, resulting in extra costs, he said.
He reiterated his party’s demand that the government should make free tests available and called on the government to ensure that “every Hungarian gets the type of vaccination which enables them to use the same rights as all EU citizens, including travel and work”.

It is claimed by the so-called “DEMOCRATIC COALITION” that Hungary’s ‘IMMUNITY CERTIFICATE’ is not recognised by certain E.U. countries.
In line with all such announcements made by that motley group – manipulated by Hungary’s worst Prime Minister in over 100 years (Ferenc something-or-another) – NO details are provided about the countries involved which supposedly have ‘turned back many people at the borders’.
So here is a list of possible ‘suspects’ with appropriate comments about each :
1. BELGIUM – who cares about visiting such an INSIGNIFICANT nation anyway ?
2. FRANCE – frog legs are NOT the best item to have on one’s diet !
3. GERMANY – there are lots of Germans visiting Hungary so why bother travelling to their country
(not that there is much worthwhile to see anyway – most areas were totally devastated
by Allied bombing in the last major European war, which by the way they started) ?
4. GREECE – like CYPRUS, ITALY, MALTA, PORTUGAL and SPAIN, it is one of several E.U. nations that have
ILLEGAL MUSLIM MIGRANTS (better hang onto your hand-bags and keep
your wallet in a safe location !) so why bother travelling there ?
However, there are PLENTY of E.U. nations (and others) which accept the Hungarian “IMMUNITY CARD” so don’t pay ANY attention to such liquid faeces spewed by Dobrev Klara’s party, D.K.
She will do ANYTHING to get herself – and her husband – elected to power.
