Orbán: Terrorism must be fought against in all its forms
Budapest, March 22 (MTI) – All forms of terrorism must be rejected and fought against, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told a news conference on Tuesday in the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels.
Orban called for cooperation between Europe’s various security services to be strengthened.
Speaking at an event in Tatabánya, north-west of Budapest, he confirmed that two Hungarians had been hurt in the blasts, neither of them seriously. Both have been hospitalised, he added.
Orbán expressed sympathy for the survivors of the blasts.

The prime minister reiterated that he has ordered a heightened terrorism alert in Hungary at the second highest level, as announced by Interior Minister Sándor Pintér.
The entire staff of the TEK counter-terrorism force has been put on alert, he said.
“These are precautionary measures. Once communication has been restored with Brussels and all pieces of information are reliable, we will decide whether to maintain that level of terrorism alert,” Orbán said.
The two blasts on Brussels’ Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station have claimed upwards of 25 victims and injured many.
