Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary responsible for international communication and relations, drew attention to the duality of the German "rainbow policy" on his social media page.
"The print edition of the German magazine Bild analyzes how false the whole rainbow debate is in Germany.
Both in German politics and in the economy, we can see the well-known double standard. While Heiko Maas spoke of a "bad signal" regarding the UEFA decision, he maintains good trade relations with the terrorist regime in Iran, where homosexuals are executed anyway.
German companies have dressed up their logos in rainbows on the Internet, but when it comes to business, they have no inhibitions: former Daimler leader Zetsche, for example, even asked the anti-LGBT Putin for an autograph.
However, the double standard is practiced by UEFA itself: it recently banned VW from advertising with rainbow flags in the Munich stadium, and then finally changed its own logo to a rainbow one yesterday afternoon.
Not us, but the German Bild."
