FM Szijjártó about Magdeburg: unacceptable that fear rules Christmas

It is “shocking and unacceptable” that fear has become a “common feeling” among those who visit Christmas markets in Europe today, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Saturday.

Szijjártó said on Facebook that the reports coming in from Magdeburg, where a car drove into a crowd at a Christmas market on Friday, were “becoming more and more tragic”.

“It’s truly shocking and also unacceptable that it has become common that those who visit Christmas markets in Europe today have to be afraid of when and where a madman, a terrorist or an assailant will show up and drive into the crowd,” the minister said.

“Europe should finally wake up and we should protect what we value, our way of life, our security,” he said, adding that “it will be increasingly late with each attack”.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families at Christmas,” Szijjártó said.

  1. Police in Germany have admitted that they were warned from Saudi Arabia about the potential dangers of the suspected perpetrator of the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, yet failed to act on the warnings. Breitbart News

    All who knew of the Saudi warning should resign.

  2. Breitbart… So @mariavontheresa this is your source of factual and unbiased news?

    Interestingly, the person in question appears to be fervently anti-Islam and pro- AfD – who are friends with Mi Hazánk … as well as mentally ill. Re the warnings and reactions – let´s try something more factual and less Breitbart, shall we?

  3. Szijjarto is it acceptable that fear ruled Christmas in Ukraine with Putin’s massive inhuman bombing attack on civilians on Christmas Day? What a disgusting propaganda ploy you made with Orban about peace for Christmas. These are the brutal invaders that you visit to receive medals of honour and shake their hands. Russia just bombed the hell out of Christmas in Ukraine and you go out of your way to do business with these devils. Shame on Hungary.

  4. Larry, Zelensky rejected P.M. Orban’s plan of cease fire during X-mas. Zelensky cannot have his cake and eat it. Ukraine should be ready to continually fight since Zelensky is against a pause in the hostilities.
