Justice minister Varga discusses current EU issues with Spanish official

Justice minister Judit Varga discussed the European Union’s next seven-year budget, the bloc’s recovery package and the migration pressure faced by the EU, with Spain’s state secretary for the EU in Budapest on Tuesday.

Varga said on Facebook that her talks with Juan Gonzalez-Barba Pera in the justice ministry also addressed the EU’s future.

In that regard Varga called for launching a series of conferences focusing on the future of the bloc.

“Hungary’s position is that in future, national parliaments must be given a sufficient role, the principle of sovereignty must be respected and priority must be given to finding concrete solutions that help people better cope in life rather than running abstract ideological debates,”

Varga said.

“This is why it is important that member states most in need should have access to funds as soon as possible,” the Hungarian justice minister said.
