Peter Magyar, the head of the opposition Tisza party, on Friday said the government was "unqualified" to handle the issue of migration.
The Hungarian government will request that the European Union compensate the country for costs incurred in protecting the bloc's external borders, and is ready to sue the EU to that end, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, told a regular press conference.
Alexandra Szentkiralyi, the head of ruling Fidesz's Budapest chapter, on Tuesday said Gergely Karacsony, the city's mayor, and Peter Magyar, who heads the opposition Tisza party, had formed a pact in the capital.
David Pressman, the US ambassador to Budapest, is “a leading figure of the Hungarian opposition”, and his statements must be handled as such, the foreign minister said.
