Orban was not injured in the incident, and security quickly overpowered Dzekicki and threw him to the floor, after which he was taken out of the room.
"By how much did you betray the country, Prime Minister?" Dzekički asked Orban as his bodyguards led him out of the hall.
Orbán commented after the incident that "Hungarian is a direct language and that communication can be rough", reports Hungarian Telex.
"When one politician tells another that he is a villain, in our culture it means 'I don't agree with you,'" Orbán said.
