The Prime Minister’s press chief Bertalan Havasi has informed Hungarian news agency MTI that on Thursday afternoon President of the Spanish People’s Party Pablo Casado initiated a telephone conversation with President of Fidesz, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

The subject of the conversation between the two party leaders was the current situation in Venezuela. Mr. Havasi said that, as members of the European People’s Party, they were in total agreement on the issue.

Mr. Orbán emphasised that on this issue Hungary adopts the same position as the Spanish People’s Party.

Accordingly it was agreed that President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro must resign from office immediately, and the countries of Europe must recognise Juan Guaidó as interim president.
