Government: Protection needed against attacks on sovereignty
Change language:
The justice minister said on Tuesday that Hungary’s sovereignty was being attacked on a daily basis and must be protected.
Bence Tuzson told a parliamentary debate on the package of laws that protecting the country’s sovereignty was one of the most important tasks in Hungary today.
An amendment to the constitution and the bill on sovereignty protection “has life-changing significance” because “certain international powers are trying to sway Hungarian election results” and gain influence in Hungary, he added.
Tuzson said strenuous efforts to take the right to self-governance away from Hungarians were under way, and Europe was on track to become “an empire” whereby nation states were replaced by a United States of Europe. “We must not allow this to happen because this may cause massive long-term damage to Hungary,” he added.
The government has proposed an amendment to the constitution to set up an independent authority for the protection of Hungary’s sovereignty.
