(MTI) – Prime Minister Viktor Orban discussed on Tuesday the situation in Romania and the European parliamentary elections with Hunor Kelemen, leader of the ethnic Hungarian RMDSZ party of Romania.
The expansion of minority rights is ill-served by a recent ruling by Romania’s top court rejecting a related constitutional amendment proposed by the RMDSZ, Kelemen told Orban.
The two politicians also discussed the upcoming European parliamentary elections, the PM’s spokesman, Bertalan Havasi, said. They agreed that after the elections, Hungarian interests should be strongly represented in the new European Parliament within the European People’s Party, of which both Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party and the RMDSZ are members.
The RMDSZ will list and rank its MEP candidates at the weekend, Kelemen said.
