The Hungarian ambassador in Rome was summoned to the Italian Foreign Ministry yesterday to explain what the ministry sees as the harsh treatment of an Italian far-left activist who was brought into the court in leg chains.
Calls for the resignation of Hungary's conservative president intensified on Friday following widespread anger over her decision to pardon an individual convicted of concealing a child sexual abuse case. The move has triggered an unprecedented political scandal for the longstanding nationalist government.
