The public humiliation of a man who is supposed to set a good ethical example has prompted Hungary’s political parties to set aside their caustic differences and unite in calls for his resignation. Attila Mesterhazy, the leader of the Socialist party, described Mr Schmitt as “unworthy of the office of president” while Dora Duro, a spokesman for the nationalist party, said if he tried to remain in office the “wrath of the people” would remove him. Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister and a close ally of the beleaguered president, remained more circumspect about Mr Schmitt’s future.
