Orban: Jourova 'has insulted' Hungary, must resign

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has written to Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, complaining about statements made by EC vice-president Vera Jourova which "are offensive to Hungary and the Hungarian people". Orban said that unless Jourova quits her post, Hungary would "suspend political relations" with her, Bertalan Havasi, the prime minister's press chief, told MTI on Tuesday. "Ever since joining the European Union in 2004, Hungary has been a committed member; we have always tried to reach an agreement when there is a dispute, and most often we've succeeded. We value the work of the president [Ursula von der Leyen] as head of the commission."
