Brussels silent on beating of Hungarian citizen in Ukraine, says the Hungarian government

Brussels is keeping silent on the case of József Sebestyén, who was “beaten to death” in Ukraine, because “Weber and von der Leyen want to bring Ukraine into the European Union,” Tamás Menczer, the communications director of ruling Fidesz said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Menczer said both Weber and Von der Leyen know that a country where “a man is beaten to death during forced conscription cannot access the European Union”.

“Such a country has nothing to do with the European Union. Such a country is so far from the European Union that it is impossible to put into words,” he said.

“We will not let this go. We know who is responsible, they must be put on the EU sanctions list immediately! We have already banned them from Hungary,” the communications director of Fidesz-KDNP said.
