Deputy PM outraged by references to Venezuela Hungarians as 'migrants'

Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen expressed "outrage" on Thursday over references to "migrants" in Hungarian media in connection with Hungarians living in Venezuela who have been brought to Hungary by the government. "We object to the liberal press calling Venezuela Hungarians migrants. They're not migrants," Semjen told MTI. "All Hungarians, wherever they may be in the world, can count on the motherland," he said. Several Hungarian media outlets reported recently that the Hungarian government has decided to take in hundreds of Venezuelan refugees with Hungarian ancestry.
