Pope speaks out on antisemitism in Hungary
By EUobserver
Pope Francis warned against antisemitism and alluded to being open to refugees in a brief visit to Budapest Saturday. "The threat of antisemitism still lurking in Europe and elsewhere ... This is a fuse that must not be allowed to burn," he said. "The cross ... extends its arms towards everyone," he also said. Hungary's right-wing government has used antisemitic tropes in election campaigns and been hostile to receiving refugees.
