EC President von der Leyen said thank you in Hungarian for sending 150 ventilators to the Czech Republic
Change language:
The President of the European Commission responded to and also shared the thankful message of the Czech Republic’s Prime Minister on Twitter.
As Hvg pointed out, Ursula von der Leyen not only shared but also commented in Hungarian on Twitter on the news that Hungary sent 150 ventilators to the Czech Republic to aid them in combatting the pandemic. The President of the European Commission, thanking the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, said that she welcomes such solidarity between the member states during these trying times.
“We need each other even more during the current pandemic,” she wrote.
Andrej Babiš thanked Viktor Orbán in his original post, adding that he was very grateful for the quick and significant help. The ventilators will be received by Czech firefighters and stored in the warehouse of the state reserve. From there, they will be transported to the appropriate hospitals if necessary.
The headline does not make sense. It implies that the EC President received thanks for sending the ventilators, whereas she was sending thanks for Hungary having sent the ventilators.
Thank you for amending the headline.
