Hungary condemns the terrorist bombings that took place in Egypt on 24 and 25 January, and urges a democratic solution, Press Chief of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gábor Kaleta declared. He also stressed that acts of violence provide no solutions for the challenges of Egyptian society and that a democratic response should be found.

The Government of Hungary expresses its condolences to the families of those killed and wishes those injured in the attacks a fast recovery.

Cairo was shaken by four deadly bombings, which were scattered around the city and targeted the police, killing six people and injuring at least eighty-five.

A young Islamist militant group called Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has claimed responsibility for the attacks. The group is close to Al Qaeda and has claimed responsibility for several recent attacks.

The United States, the UN and the European Union have also condemned the attacks.
