Far-Right German Journalist Implicated In Firebombing Of Hungarian Center In Ukraine
Carl Schreck

KRAKOW, Poland -- A Polish man accused of involvement in the firebombing of a Hungarian cultural center in western Ukraine last year says he received instructions on the attack from a German journalist who has worked as a consultant for a German parliament deputy with the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Michal Prokopowicz, 28, told a Krakow court on January 14 that German journalist Manuel Ochsenreiter provided instructions for the February 4, 2018, attack on the headquarters of the Hungarian Cultural Association in Uzhhorod, the capital of the Zakarpattya region in western Ukraine.

A representative for Ochsenreiter called the claim "false."

There appear to be tensions between Ukrainians and the Hungarian minority. The story seems far-fetched too, in that Hungary is right-wing right now... still, it might be so. Just my comment.

That's some pretty random stuff. A Polish man burns a Hungarian "Center" in Ukraine on the instructions of a German.
