Poland Summons Hungarian Envoy Over Asylum Grant

Poland Summons Hungarian Envoy Over Asylum Grant

Poland is upset with Hungary because Hungary gave asylum to two Polish people.

Poland thinks these people did something wrong with public money.

Poland's government, led by Donald Tusk, wants to hold these people accountable.

Hungary, led by Viktor Orban, says Poland is being unfair.

This is not the first time Hungary has given asylum to Polish people.

Before, Hungary gave asylum to Marcin Romanowski, who is also accused of misusing public funds.

Poland and Hungary used to be friends, but now they are having problems.

Hungary's friendship with Moscow and the change in Poland's government have made things worse.
