Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told reporters about his communication with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"I respected Angela Merkel… She even yelled at me sometimes. It wasn't good. In any case, more than my wife ... but she is an open person, an intellectual," said the head of the Hungarian government in the podcast MD Meets, RIA Novosti reports.
According to Viktor Orban, the ex-Chancellor has never used the power to impose her opinion. She was ready to listen and discuss other people's arguments, the prime minister said.
