Hungarian foreign minister summons Swedish ambassador

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Thursday summoned Sweden’s ambassador to Hungary over recent critical remarks by the Swedish government.

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said on Wednesday that Hungarian Prime Minister and Matteo Salvini, the Italian interior minister, are working to form an alliance against democrats and left-wingers.

Sweden‘s migration minister Helene Fritzon criticised Hungary’s migration policy and suggested that Hungary should take a share in the EU’s common migration policy, noting that her country had enthusiastically accommodated Hungarian refugees in 1956.

“The pro-migration Swedish government has launched another attack on Hungary,” Szijjártó told MTI.

Szijjártó insisted that Orban and Salvini “are fighting against illegal immigration”, adding that “they represent the will of the European people”.

Szijjártó protested Fritzon’s “putting an equation mark between Hungarian refugees in 1956 and illegal immigrants”

and insisted that the Hungarian refugees had “observed (Austria’s) national and international laws and waited (in Austria) for a country to accommodate them”. Illegal migrants, however, “rush through a series of safe countries, break laws, and jeopardise our security,” Szijjártó argued.

    Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó is correct! My parents both escaped through Austria when the Szoviets decided to change their minds and topple a government and former allie of Austria. My moms family came out in November 1956, my dad stuck around as he volunteered for service in August 1956 prior to the October uprising that later led to the Prime minister and other governments heads execution. He left January 1957. My parents and family always observed the laws that protected everyone in all the countries the had to pass through. They were especially careful in the country that finally took them in. I can say this today about many friends coming into my current country, in the fact that they come in legally through Asylum or other means and observe the laws and behaviors and customs. I can’t say the same for that crap that tried to cross the Serbian border in 2015. If i were there, i would have put bullets in all their asses of that violent bunch!

    If the Swedes were allowed to create as much Mayhem outside of Sweden as they have in their own Contry…they would be a “State Sponsor of Terror”

    How are those migrants and stay away areas going Sweden? Clean up the stink in your own backyard before commenting on another country.
