Csaba Vasvari News Today

The government-friendly media outlets argued that Csaba Vasvari and Tamas Matusik must resign because the meeting interferes with the "judicial independence".

In a statement, the embassy hit back at press coverage of the introductory meeting of Ambassador David Pressman, who took his post in August, with two members of Hungary's National Judicial Council, Judges Csaba Vasvari and Tamas Matusik last month. The meeting was "consistent with the normal conduct of diplomacy by the United States and other countries – including Hungary – around the world," the embassy said.
