Foreign ministry: British embassy 'uninformed' about Hungary paedophile law

A recent statement by the British Embassy in Budapest "shows a complete lack of information" and was written based on "malevolent misinterpretation and false news", the Hungarian foreign ministry said on Tuesday. Hungary's recent paedophile legislation is "aimed at protecting children" and to ensure "parents' exclusive right to provide education to their children concerning sexual orientation", the statement said. The law is not aimed against any community and "does not concern the sexual orientation of adults", the ministry said.
