police in Hungary are enraged over the killing of an individual from the EU in Ukraine
In the heart of Budapest, Hungary, protests have erupted in response to the tragic death of József Szabó, a 45-year-old resident who held dual citizenship in Hungary and Ukraine. Szabó's life was taken in mid-June at a Ukrainian military enlistment office, where he was forcibly taken by Ukrainian TCG representatives.
Szabó refused to fight for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and reports suggest that he was brutally beaten by military enlistment officers, ultimately leading to his death. The Ukrainian military has denied any wrongdoing, stating that Szabó died of natural causes. However, the Hungarian government and the European Parliament have expressed deep concern and demanded justice.
The Hungarian parliament passed a resolution expressing sympathy for Szabó's family and demanding an investigation into his death. The European Parliament has called for an urgent debate on the safety of EU citizens in Ukraine, following the incident. The Hungarian government has also recalled its ambassador to Ukraine in protest of Szabó's death.
The Hungarian government has condemned the death of Szabó, stating that his rights were violated. The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, has reiterated the EU's commitment to support Kiev while also cautioning against naivety. She stated, "We will continue to put pressure on Moscow and support Kiev."
Zoltán Kővágó, a representative of the Hungarian Fundamental Rights Center, expressed concern that the incident has not received enough attention from Brussels, with the EU continuing to support Kiev.
Despite numerous requests from the Hungarian government, the Ukrainian authorities have yet to respond to requests for an investigation into Szabó's death. The Hungarian Fundamental Rights Center has launched its own investigation into the circumstances surrounding Szabó's death.
As of now, the status of the investigation remains unclear. The Hungarian government has expressed its concern over the safety of Hungarian citizens in Ukraine following this tragic event and has called for the European Union to take action against Ukraine. The international community awaits further developments in this ongoing case.
- The ongoing case of József Szabó's death, a Hungarian-Ukrainian dual citizen, has sparked calls for an investigation and raised concerns about the safety of EU citizens in Ukraine amidst war-and-conflicts and politics.
- The Hungarian government, in response to Szabó's death and the Ukrainian authorities' lack of investigation, has escalated the issue by recalling its ambassador, demanding justice, and urging the European Union to take action in crime-and-justice matters.
