The absence of Tusk and Macron in Budapest. Media point to the reasons

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar aimed to gather European leaders for the 70th anniversary of the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising. Despite invitations to key figures like Emmanuel Macron and Donald Tusk, many EU countries were represented by lower-ranking officials due to delays in sending invitations. Macron's absence was linked to tensions over Magyar's comments on France's migration issues. The event saw delegations from around 40 countries, but only a few heads of state attended.
