Menczer: Hungary is not interfering in the Slovak election campaign

Hungary is not interfering in the Slovak election campaign, according to a foreign ministry official, who said on Facebook on Thursday that "the Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs is surely joking".

Tamas Menczer, the state secretary for bilateral relations said Czech President Petr Pavel had clearly stated that Slovaks should not vote for Robert Fico, while Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Slovaks to “vote for the party called Demokrata”, and the party advertised Rutte’s endorsement on their Facebook page.

“And now they’re claiming that Hungary has been interfering in the Slovak election campaign!” he wrote.

He said it was anyone’s guess whether the Slovak foreign ministry had summoned the Czech and Dutch ambassadors in response.
