Hungarian Jewish communities held a memorial service in Budapest's Dohány Street synagogue for the victims of the Hamas attack on Israel a year ago, and for those still in captivity.

The Hungarian PM was the guest of honour at the rally of the Italian right-wing party Lega, led by Matteo Salvini.

According to the Foreign Minister, Julia Gross has violated Hungary's sovereignty and has interfered in the country's internal affairs.

The decision was announced on Thursday, after the Hungarian government has failed to provide convincing answers to the EC's inquiry.

Nearly three quarters of Hungarian respondents agree that Hungary has benefited from EU membership, and two thirds are optimistic about the future of the EU, according to the European Union's survey.

The idea of freezing some of the EU funds due to Hungary over the legislation has been dismissed, according to the paper.

One of the things this latest scandal has made clear is that there aren't many leading politicians in Fidesz who are good at more than just doing the Prime Minister's bidding.

The party says that they already paid back the loan which they received in two instalments.

The Hungarian Foreign Minister held talks with the recently appointed Andrii Sybiha for the first time, and they gave a summary of their meeting to the press afterwards.
