Hungary Summons Austrian Ambassador Over Chancellor's Remarks On Orbán
Hungary’s foreign ministry summoned the Austrian ambassador over remarks made by Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann on Hungary in an interview published by Der Spiegel. The foreign ministry rejected Faymann’s remarks in the interview entitled “Can’t do it without quotas”. Faymann said: “Orbán is acting irresponsibly when he says everyone is an economic refugee.”

Sticking refugees in trains and sending them somewhere completely different to where they think they’re going reminds us of the darkest chapter of our continent’s history.”

Faymann’s statements are unworthy of a 21st century European leader, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said.

The chancellor has been running a campaign of “malicious and false attacks” on Hungary for weeks, he added.
