’Hungary Has Many Friends In Germany', Says Head of PM’s Office, Despite “Disparaging Debates”
Attending an event on Monday in Berlin, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said that Hungary “still has many friends in Germany”, adding that Germany “is important to Hungary”, notwithstanding “disparaging debates” in German politics about Hungary.

Gulyás attended the presentation of the German-language book by former Interior Minister Imre Kónya attended by several leading politicians of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

He noted to public media that Wolfgang Schauble and Rita Sussmuth, the two former presidents of the Bundestag, as well as Armin Laschet, the former prime minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, were in attendance, suggesting that “there are still many people who value Hungary’s role in the change of political system”.
