He said that a German company “should know what dictatorship is” and that this is in fact a “dictatorship of opinion” according to the cabinet chief, index.hu reported.
He posed the question that “if the [Hungarian] government did not agree with Telekomʼs opinion on a specific topic, would it cancel all contracts with them [the company]?” index.hu quoted Lázár, who was presumably referring to contracts the Hungarian subsidiary of the German telco recently signed with the government.
