Hungary's PM Orban & Former PM Bajnai Ignore One Another
Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his predecessor Gordon Bajnai did not shake hands as both sat in the VIP area to watch Hungary’s football World Cup qualification game at the Puskas Ferenc Stadium Tuesday evening.

Several photographs show that Bajnai sat directly in front of Orban, who was sitting with former president Pal Schmitt, Speaker Laszlo Kover and OTP chief Sandor Csanyi.

Bajnai watched the game against Turkey with his daughter and son.

Bajnai's staff said Bajnai did not notice that Orban was behind him. Orban's staff said anyone is free to go to football matches.
