Hungarian foreign minister called European football's governing body UEFA a "pathetic" organization, which ordered Hungary to play its next two UEFA competition games behind closed doors due to discriminatory treatment of its fans.
"Such a decision-making committee is a pathetic and cowardly body. They should be ashamed of themselves," Foreign Minister Peter Sizzarto said on his Facebook page.
"Just like in communism: there's no need for evidence, it's enough to report unanimously."
UEFA on Friday ordered Hungary to play its next two international matches without fans due to discriminatory crowd behavior during European Championship matches in Budapest.
At the Hungarian opener at Budapest's Puskas Arena, images on social media showed banners with "Anti-LMBTQ" in the crowd - the Hungarian abbreviation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer.
Before another match, fans marched towards the arena with a banner and called on the players to stop kneeling in protest against discrimination.
UEFA told the Hungarian Football Federation that it must play its next three UEFA competition matches behind closed doors, the third of which will be suspended for a two-year probationary period.
The ban does not apply to the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers, so Hungary will be allowed to have fans at games against England and Andorra in September. Instead supporters will not be allowed to participate in their first two UEFA Nations League group-stage games, to be played in June 2022.
The national federation was also fined €100,000 ($119,000) for the behavior of its supporters.
UEFA also ordered the HFF to display a banner with the words "Equal Game" during their upcoming matches without spectators in the stadium.
