Migration reaches ‘new level of danger’, says Hungarian FM Szijjártó in Serbia
Change language:
Migration pressure at Hungary’s southern border has reached a “new level of danger”, the foreign minister said in Subotica (Szabadka), in northern Serbia, after meeting Nikola Selakovic, his Serbian counterpart on Monday.
Péter Szijjártó insisted that migrants were “increasingly aggressive and violent”, adding that “they now have weapons and they use them”.
Szijjártó said Europe was facing “dramatic challenges” including a “permanent inflationary environment” due to the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.
“The migrant crisis is aggravating… and Hungary has to face that challenge presenting itself as pressure from the south and the east at the same time,” he said.

He told a joint press conference that as a result of the increasingly intensive war in Ukraine, the number of migrants at Hungary’s eastern borders was growing, with over 10,000 refugees arriving daily, totaling over 820,000 so far.
“Concurrently, the pressure of migration is growing. More than 110,000 illegal migrants have been stopped at our southern border so far,” he said and added that increasingly violent migrants carrying guns posed a security threat for both Serbia and Hungary. “We must make it clear that this is not a human rights issue,” he said. “I would like to make it clear that these people attacking our police and acting aggressively in Serbia, shooting guns, have no right whatsoever to enter Hungary’s territory,” he added.
Szijjártó said the migrants had been crossing through safe countries and violated several borders, which means that they arrived in Serbia by committing a series of crimes and “nobody has the right to act this way”. The situation will get increasingly serious because the war in Ukraine results in the threat of famine at several locations in the world, he said. “The food supply crisis will most probably put a more serious migratory pressure on Serbia and Hungary alike. As a result, I believe we are in the last hour that Brussels and NGOs linked to [US financier] George Soros should stop encouraging migrants and organising migration,” he added.
Here we go again! Just blame everything on the “migrants” and Soros.
Refugees to the right (East) of them,
Refugees to the South of them,
Refugees in front of them,
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed with a shot and shell,
Boldly they spread the fear,
Into the thicket, drumming up xenophobia (again),
Into the mouth of deception
Rode the TWO.
– My most sincere apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Here is something for the “two” to mull over, just lock all the borders, isolate the country (like North Korea) and they won’t have to worry (not that those “two” are worried!) about “migrants” and Soros. N’est pas?
I’m quite sure that NO-ONE has to encourage refugees to flee (for their lives), nor migrants to seek a better life for themselves and their dependent families.
I’m also quite sure that NONE of those, who are NOT ethnic Hungarians from Ukraine, would even contemplate of ever settling in Hungary, when even the minimum wages and salaries are much MUCH better in other EU and European countries.
Furthermore, from all that I’ve read, ONLY one of the two groups of SMUGGLERS (a Pakistani smuggler) who had a pistol, and innocent refugees (too) were wounded in the argument between the two opposing smugglers, but all those other sources could be wrong.
