Hungarian government: New level of cooperation with Germany possible
#Hungarian and #German ministries and working groups will pursue new avenues of cooperation #germany #hungary #orán #merkel
In the areas of economic and defence cooperation, Hungary-Germany ties “can reach a new level”, the government spokesman said on Thursday.
Commenting on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s talks in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Zoltán Kovács said Germany’s trade turnover with Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia was 1.5 times more than its turnover with France.
Innovation and technology are fruitful areas of cooperation for strengthening economic cooperation, he said.
Most German companies operate in high value-added and forward-looking industries, he noted, adding that Hungary is looking to elevate bilateral ties to a new level.
In the coming weeks and months, Hungarian and German ministries and working groups will pursue new avenues of cooperation, Kovács said.
In connection with defence cooperation, the spokesman noted Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó’s talks in Berlin and the establishment of “extremely” close defence cooperation between the two countries, including between their defence industries. A NATO central European command headquarters is being set up with German support, he noted.
This cooperation also has an impact on military command and technology developments, as well as Hungary’s reform of its military.
Both countries have an interest in creating an independent European defence force, he said, noting that Orban had been among its first proponents.

Don’t trust this lady from Berlin! She calls herself still Merkel even if she’s married now with Mr. Sauer – so in terms of respect we’ll call her Frau Sauer. On 05.07.2018 the German coalition partners CDU / CSU and SPD again reached an agreement to ensure that just before the summer recession of the government, which started now in Germany, the worst could be averted, namely a cabinet crisis with then probably following new elections that would bring all three parties to even more losses than in the last elections of 5 months ago. Angela Sauer can start walking again in the Alps as she has been doing for years, especially no changes! No Sauer, the rock in the surf where less and less Germans have confidence in, as if you read the agreement reached there is only old wine is presented in new bags, other words for ‘Auffanglager’ now suddenly called ‘Ankerzentren’, but nobody knows where to be placed and how they should be decorated. The most important and most striking point is that the German Minister of Internal Affairs, Horst Seehofer, now has to start a tour to those EU countries with which Germany shares the borders. He must then ensure through bilateral agreements that Germany can send back fortune seekers who are already registered in another EU country that, while complying with the Dublin Convention, would be rejected against the Schengen Convention. Austria, Hungary and Italy have already indicated that they do not want to conclude such an agreement in which Italy is certainly allergic to any form of resuming happiness seekers, whether or not they were registered after their arrival in Italy. The German media interrupted the broadcast on a number of TV channels for bringing this ‘joyful news’ that was followed by the writing press. After an explanation of the agreement they concluded this as true delusions and substantiated with strong arguments. Only 2 pages counts the draft agreement and the German minister will now have to go to Athens, Rome, Paris, Sofia and Zagreb in the coming weeks, in which you will not find Brussels (the Belgian government) and The Hague, despite the fact that in Belgium and the Netherlands have the same problems with Germany as in the other countries. You see that the Netherlands and Belgium just follow and if not Sauer will certainly call Rutte to Berlin with the order to obey. Another problem is that the agreement in fact does not find any sense about a much larger problem that Germany has, namely how to deal with the tens of thousands of illegal fortune seekers who were not returned to a border and now live somewhere in Germany. It is estimated that this will soon involve at least 100,000 people of which the German government does not know who they are, where they came from and where they live. However, there is a talk of more intensive random checks by the German police, but what happens afterwards, if these would already result, is unclear. Another striking fact is that there is no attempt on the part of the German side to talk to the EU in Brussels which confirms who is in charge in the EU and the EU is in fact a completely superfluous money-wasting institute that occupies itself with plastic straws and vacuum cleaners, which brings annoyance to every EU-citizen, especially if you see how your money is thrown out of the window with bins to make lifes of exclusively a bunch of unprofessional and, moreover, very moderately intellectually gifted men and women’s more pleasant. Anyway, we will have to work with Sauer for a while, the full superfluity of the EU will be emphasized once again and for the time being it is holiday!
