The United States has demanded the Hungarian government disclose personal data in connection with Hungarians with dual citizenship living abroad, the interior ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The ministry said Hungary would not disclose such data “because the security of ethnic Hungarians is at stake”. The statement added that the administration of President Joe Biden was “taking revenge on Hungarians”.

As we reported earlier, as of today, the United States has significantly restricted visa-free travel from Hungary due to security concerns over Hungarian passports issued between 2011 and 2020. On the contrary, Russia has made it easier for Hungarians to obtain visas to Russia: Hungarian citizens can now apply for electronic visas to the country.
