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.
