Slovak Parliament Speaker Calls Hungarian PM's Statements 'Complete Nonsense'

Share:

Andrej Danko, speaker of Slovakia's National Council parliament, sharply criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, describing his recent statements as "complete nonsense" and calling him politically and historically uneducated. Danko, who leads the Slovak National Party (SNS), a nationalist party that is part of the ruling coalition alongside the social-democratic Smer-SD party, did not specify which particular comments by Orbán prompted his criticism. The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the two neighboring countries despite both being members of the European Union and NATO, with disputes often arising over minority rights, historical interpretations, and regional politics.
