DK Asks Italy Not To Accept Hungarian Ambassador Candidate
The leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has turned to Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini in protest against the Hungarian government’s appointing Péter Szentmihályi Szabó ambassador to that country.

MEPs of the party Csaba Molnár and Péter Niedermüller said in their letter to Mogherini that Szentmihályi Szabó had earlier been nominated for parliament by the radical nationalist MIÉP party, and contributed to the far-right media.

Signatories to the letter asked the Italian minister to consider those circumstances before deciding whether to grant approval to the new ambassador.
