State Secretary responds to Slovak reactions over Foreign Minister comments

Tamás Menczer, the foreign ministry’s state secretary for bilateral relations, responded on Sunday to Slovak reactions to recent remarks by Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Menczer said on Facebook that there was “something fishy” about “the great outcry” that Minister Szijjártó’s remarks caused in Slovakia. “Suddenly, even those on the Slovakian side who otherwise would gladly weigh in on the internal affairs of other countries, such as Hungary’s, have become sensitive to internal affairs, too,” Menczer said.
