Prime Minister Orbán Viktor received Jenő Szász, the President of the Hungarian Civil Union in his office today.

They discussed recent political happenings and the status of Hungarians in Romania and they also touched upon the forthcoming referendum against Traian Băsescu, which is to take place this weekend. Jenő Szász made it clear that it is in the interests of the Hungarian people in Transylvania and of the whole Romanian nation that the coup d’état against Băsescu should not be successful.

Therefore, he called on voters to boycott the referendum. Viktor Orbán underlined that the European People’s Party is unanimously and resolutely backing President Băsescu and is providing him with their full support.
