Coronavirus - Szijjarto: Hungarian epidemic measures in line with intl law

The Hungarian government's measures taken during the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic, when it was endowed with special powers to fight the spread of the disease, were in line with international law and did not harm human rights or freedoms in any way, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Tuesday. Speaking by phone from Strasbourg, where he met leaders of the Council of Europe (CoE), Szijjarto noted the "unprecedented attacks" on Hungary from international organisations and EU member states during the first wave of the epidemic. "All attacks have been proven to be unfair and based on lies," he said.
