Speaking at his weekly press conference, the cabinet chief said that Bild’s allegations are ridiculous, as all of Europe knew what was happening at the Hungarian border, index.hu reported. “If this had been a surprise then Germany would have been working inefficiently, which is not likely”, Lázár reportedly said.
According to reports, in an article published earlier, Bild accused Orbán of misrepresenting the number of refugees Hungary would like to let through Germany, during his negotiations with German officials, who would ultimately have to accept the refugees.
Lázár said Orbán provided accurate information to German and Austrian officials, and also drew their attention to potential dangers, index.hu reported. “It is not the information from Hungary that was faulty, but welcoming [refugees] was a serious mistake,” Lázár was quoted as saying.
