The state secretary for international communications set the Hungarian MEP and Tisza Party chief Peter Magyar straight in a post on social media. Zoltan Kovacs wrote,

And then the "Hungarian mouthpiece" of Brussels, Peter Magyar, sounds off. Today, his handlers gave him orders to attack Hungary's sovereign foreign policy.

"Georgia needs respect and support, not lecturing on its path to the EU," Zoltan Kovacs added, reacting to an earlier Facebook post by the Tisza Party leader, who had criticized the Hungarian prime minister's trip to Georgia.

As Magyar Nemzet previously reported, the foreign ministers of 13 European Union countries condemned the alleged breaches of international rules in Georgia's parliamentary elections over the weekend, saying that the violations were incompatible with the expectations set for an EU candidate country. Hungary's Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Peter Szijjarto reacted to this on his social media page.

13 European foreign ministers still cannot get over the fact that democracy is about the will of the people, they cannot swallow the fact that the Georgian government is not appointed from Brussels but elected by the citizens of Georgia,

the minister stated.

He added that "Unfortunately, the 13 foreign ministers have once again demonstrated that the liberal mainstream believes that a country can only be a democracy if the liberal party wins the election".
