Jewish Groups Protest Iran Ex-leader's Hungary Visit

"Ahmadinejad's reception in Budapest deeply offends the Hungarian Jewish community, which mourns its murdered dead," the statement added. Mazsihisz called for an apology from "the leadership of the NKE" to the "offended Hungarian Jewish community," and demanded that the Hungarian government "explain how, in light of the excellent Hungarian-Israeli relations and the government's policy of supporting the Hungarian Jewish community, Ahmadinejad's visit to Hungary could have happened."
