Forsthoffer refuted these claims, stating that the Prime Minister approached the rostrum merely to signal he had a meeting to attend and to inquire about parliamentary rules regarding his return. She characterized Németh’s video as a baseless attempt to discredit her and criticized his political conduct as unethical.
