Hungary not to support sanctions against Poland, says state secretary

Budapest, January 11 (MTI) – Hungary and its government take a stand for Poland, its politics and people, and will not support any sanction against that country, the state secretary for government communication said on Monday.

“We Hungarians have already experienced what it is like if certain politicians and political forces take action against the independent politics of a country,” Bence Tuzson said. Hungary will not participate in such actions, he said.

If the European Union wants to impose sanctions, its decision should be based on a consensus of all members and Hungary will not support such a move, he said.

The European Commission is scheduled to hold a debate about the state of constitutionality in Poland on January 13.
