I attend a bilingual secondary school, in which our teachers have put great emphasis on teaching us how to write formal letters, and use english in an accurate, appropriate way. This was tested in the advanced level english maturity exam that students can choose to do at the end of their secondary school carreer.
Meanwhile, our country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, a person that one would assume has years of experience in wording letters like this, believed that it is appropriate to represent a whole country like this. Unbelivable.

I bet Szijjártó’s Russian is better.
If anyone thought that our officials are anything but simple imbeciles who were selected for pure loyalty. In 2023 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can not write a simple letter in English. Addressed to the Swedish minister where writing in Swedish would have been more professional to begin with.
It’s good to not make mistakes when you are correcting someone.
What is “politocan” ?
Don’t they have translators at the ministry of foreign affairs?
People are gonna take Budapest so cereal now!
