The Hungarian embassy in Tripoli remains open, despite everything

The Hungarian Embassy in Tripoli will remain open, despite everything, the Hungarian EU Presidency said yesterday. This is not a trivial fact. Several Member States have decided to suspend the operation of their embassies and evacuate their staff. But the Hungarian embassy also ensures the representation of the EU in the country. She " plays a particularly crucial role in supporting the coordination of the evacuation of EU citizens on the ground » we specify on the Hungarian side and « will continue to serve as the first point of contact in the field »... A rather courageous act because the future is rather uncertain.
