Is it proper for a high-ranking diplomat, involved in other delicate matters, to attend a political demonstration of a foreign country? Is he an official or a private individual in such a case? André Goodfriend, chargé d’affaires of the US embassy in Budapest, did attend the demonstration against internet tax yesterday, and implicitly he also expressed his sympathy for the cause. That was too much for Zoltán Kovács, spokesman of the Hungarian government, who launched on attack against him on Twitter. Their words speak for themselves.
