Fidesz communications director Balazs Hidveghi wrote a letter to two dozen MEPs who had previously demanded the release of Ahmed H., the Syrian man who has been convicted under Hungarian terrorism laws for inciting a riot on the Hungary-Serbia border in 2015, MTI reports.
Hidveghi told a news conferene on Monday that the MEPs he contacted had "defended a terrorist", and even appeared in a campaign photograph for one of the organisations linked to billionaire George Soros. "If they care so much about his freedom, they should lobby their government to welcome Ahmed H. into their country," he said.
According to the politician, the MEPs who supported Ahmed H. generally occupied Liberal, Socialist, Green and Communist EP seats and had campaigned for "mass migration". They were also "on Soros's list of trusted allies" in the European Parliament, he insisted.
