Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stayed at the Hungarian embassy in Brasilia for two nights in February, following the confiscation of his passport and the arrest of two former aides on suspicion of plotting a coup. Bolsonaro’s lawyer stated that he stayed at the embassy to maintain contact with Hungarian officials and get updates on the political landscape of both nations. The Brazilian foreign ministry summoned Hungary’s ambassador to clarify the reasons behind Bolsonaro’s stay at the embassy. Bolsonaro has good relations with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
