"The closer he gets to the elections in Hungary, the more he should step up his efforts to find a fresh country where he hides," said Peter Magyar. The leader of the Hungarian TISZA organization who competes with Fidesz Viktor Orban believes that helping Romanowski is crazy. "This is not the intent of asylum," he added.
Peter Magyar, organization leader TISSA, in an interview with "Gazeta Wyborcza" criticized Hungary's decision to grant asylum to Marcin Romanowski. He stated that this was a serious abuse and violation of global treaties which apply to both Poland and Hungary.
Hungary. No more aid for Marcin Romanowski?
- I'm sorry. It is crazy that 1 EU associate State gives asylum to another EU national who is wanted for criminal charges. This is not the intent of granting asylum," Peter Magyar said.
Magyar besides said that Romanowski's situation may change if Viktor Orban's organization loses in the upcoming parliamentary elections. "If I were to give him any advice, the closer he gets to the elections in Hungary, the more he should step up his efforts to find a fresh country where he hides. We are bound by global treaties, which are very clear - he added.
