Hungary and Poland stand up for their national interests – Polish foreign minister visits Budapest

The “pro-migration bureaucrats” in Brussels are pursuing a campaign of revenge against Hungary and Poland, but the two countries “can rely on each other”, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after talks with his Polish counterpart on Wednesday.

Hungary and Poland stand up for their national interests and take a fair and honest position in international debates, Szijjarto told a joint press conference with Jacek Czaputowicz. Both countries also believe that Europe’s Christian heritage must be protected, he added.

“The bureaucrats in Brussels have launched a campaign of revenge” against Hungary and Poland but the two countries “will not give in”, he said. Both countries want a strong Europe, which can only be built on strong member states, he added.

The attacks by Brussels lack an authentic reason, they are only based on political motivation because Hungary and Poland do not want to become a country of immigrants and go against Brussels’ migrant policies, he said.

Hungary and Poland were the first countries in Europe that made it clear that they would not vote for the United Nations global migration compact and now they are joining forces to fight off all attempts to “push the compact down countries’ throats” bit by bit, he said.

He added that they were in agreement about border protection issues and both believed that it was a task of the state.

Hungary and Poland believe that help needs to be taken to where the trouble is, which is why an orphanage is being built with the support of the two countries’ governments in Homs, Syria, he said.
