Hungary's Deputy Prime Minister Navracsics Warns Of Socialist Hate Campaign
Deputy prime minister Tibor Navracsics yesterday described the Socialists’ spring operation to drum up support as a “hate campaign,” echoing Fidesz spokeswoman Gabriella Selmeczi’s initial response to the Socialists announcement.

In an interview with Magyar Hirlap, Navracsics said Fidesz and the government must prepare for the hate campaign run by consultant Ron Werber.

An answer should be provided by stressing the government’s achievements, he said.

In other remarks Navracsics denied reports published by Nepszabadsag and news website Index that he might take the post of foreign minister. “I wish to finish the work which I began in this ministry, as I launched public administration reform,” he intoned.
