He added that the government is in constant contact with ambassadors in the region to ensure that no Hungarian finds themselves in trouble.
“Today, we also discussed with the most important players in Hungary’s energy sector ways to prevent the price-raising effects of the crisis in Venezuela,” Orbán said. In a separate Facebook post, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said a Hungarian citizen in the Venezuelan capital who registered for consular protection had been contacted and is well.
“We are aware of two Hungarian citizens who are in prison in Venezuela, one of them in a rural location that was not affected, and the other in the capital, but that area was also not affected by the events,” Szijjártó added.
Any Hungarian citizens in Venezuela who have not registered for consular prot ection can contact the Hungarian honorary consul in Caracas or the Dutch consulate representing Hungarian interests in case of trouble, the foreign minister said. Hungary’s embassy in Quito, Ecuador, is on call around the clock, he added.
