BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Angela Merkel, who has repeatedly warned of renewed anti-Semitism in Europe, will visit a synagogue in Budapest and discuss political issues including racism while on a visit to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban next Monday.

The chancellor's spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Wednesday the two leaders would discuss bilateral and European matters, but added that "domestic political developments in Hungary are always on the agenda when the chancellor meets Mr Orban".
