Hungarian FM: People should know about European Commission’s ‘secret plans’

Citizens of the European Union have the right to know “what secret plans the European Commission is making behind their backs to further undermine the continent’s security”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told public Kossuth Radio on Monday.

Referring to a document prepared by the legal service of the commission concerning ramifications of the United Nations’ Migration Compact, Szijjártó said that “it has been Brussels’s greatest lie concerning migration”. He insisted that

it was “well-known” that “Brussels would cram the compact down the throat of each European country”.

He noted that Hungary was the first EU member to reject the document, while 8 other countries followed suit.

Before the UN vote on the compact, “Brussels kept pulling the wool over our eyes saying that it would not be legally binding”, Szijjártó said, adding that “still, the word obligation is used 80 times in the document passed”.
