Budapest (MTI) – Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has sent a letter of protest to Thorbjorn Jagland, General Secretary of the Council of Europe, over criticism of Hungary’s migration policy by the Council’s human rights commissioner.

In an article published in the online version of The New York Times on Wednesday, Muiznieks said that at the recent European Union summit in Bratislava, Hungary was among countries “most hostile to the European Union proposals on migration”. Muiznieks added that despite criticism of his policies, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had “shrugged off this criticism and pushed ahead with an agenda that can be described only as institutionalized xenophobia.”

Szijjártó reacted to the article saying on Thursday that “with his astonishing lies” Muiznieks was criticising a country which observes all international regulations.

Szijjártó has written a letter to the General Secretary of the Council of Europe over the criticism.
