Emotions ran high on Monday when Prime Minister Viktor Orbán incorrectly claimed that "284 underage girls have been arrested for as many murders" in Sweden.
Lie, said Kristersson – who now gets the same words thrown back at him from the Hungarian government.
– The Swedish Prime Minister said that we imprison opposition members in Hungary. I can say that it's a lie, says EU Minister János Bóka on his way to an EU ministerial meeting in Brussels on Tuesday.
No Swedish-Hungarian peace talks are to be expected.
– I don't intend to give more oxygen to Viktor Orbán and his lies by bringing it up at today's ministerial meeting, says EU Minister Jessica Rosencrantz (M) as she arrives, just after Bóka.
– But I can certainly state that it's just a lie and an obvious desperate attempt to divert attention from the serious problems that Hungary itself has with the principles of the rule of law and oppression in all ways against civil society, says Rosencrantz.
