In a statement to Hungarian news agency MTI, the Prime Minister’s Press Chief Bertalan Havasi said that Prime Minister of Hungary and Chairman of Fidesz Viktor Orbán has sent a letter of congratulations to Horst Seehofer, Chairman of the German Christian Social Union, on his re-election as leader of Fidesz’s sister party in Bavaria.
In his letter, Mr. Orbán expressed his pleasure at being able to continue to work together with Mr. Seehofer. Over the past years their cooperation has extended beyond the preservation of longstanding Bavarian-Hungarian relations, he wrote, and it has addressed the challenges facing Europe on the basis of Christian-conservative values. In closing Mr. Orbán wrote: “I wish you good health in your position of responsibility and further success in the Berlin coalition talks”.
