Poll: Hungarians Like Germans, But It’s Not Mutual
Sympathy is rather one-sided between Germans and Hungarians, a recent poll shows.

According to Nezopont Institute, 59% of Hungarians have a positive opinion about Germany, while 55% of Germans have a negative opinion about Hungary.

Only 38% of Germans speak positively about Hungary. There is no demographic category in Germany, in which the majority has a positive opinion about Hungary.

In their summary, the pro-government think tank noted that the result is the effect of the “one-sided” criticism of the German press since 2010.

According to a poll conclued in 2017, 70% of German press reports about Hungary were negative. There were only 1% positive and 29% neutral articles.
