HUNGARY: Polish Foreign Minister's Decision "Pathetic, Childish", Szijjarto Says

HUNGARY
  • The decision of Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski to declare the Hungarian ambassador to Poland as “not welcome” at the opening event of Poland's EU presidency is "pathetic and childish", Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Friday evening.
  • Leader of the main opposition Peter Magyar and President Tamas Sulyok exchanged a series of verbal attacks over the weekend. According to MTI, the opposition leader said it is "sad" that Sulyok was elected president "with no scientific or political achievements," prompting backlash from the President in a social media post of his own.
  • There are no data releases scheduled for today, with PPI, budget balance, industrial production and retail sales figures all due later in the week.
