Hungarian Authorities Refuse to Comment on Asylum Decision
We asked the Hungarian Ministry of Interior for details about Zbigniew Ziobra’s asylum. The Hungarian National Directorate for the Police of Aliens provided a brief response. “We inform you that due to strict personal data protection regulations governing asylum procedures, we will not disclose any information…” was conveyed.
Let us recall that in recent days, both the former minister of justice and his wife Patrycja Kotecka-Ziobro received asylum in Hungary.
