McCain said the treaty with Russia on expanding the Paks nuclear plant, as well as the “assault on the media” are examples on a long list which verify Orbán’s “neo-fascist” attitude.

He said he is not worried about how the Hungarian government received his remarks about Hungary and Orbán.

In response, Fidesz MP Gergely Gulyás posted pictures on his Facebook page of McCain alongside Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of Ukraine’s far-right Svoboda party, calling the latter a “neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic and Hungarian hater”.
