Minister: Brussels “inspire” the arrival of more migrants in Europe

The Russia-Ukraine war “won’t end anytime soon” as there “isn’t a trace” of negotiations, Péter Szijjártó, the Hungarian foreign minister, said in an interview with daily Magyar Nemzet on Saturday.

Szijjártó reiterated that the government’s most important tasks are ensuring Hungary’s security and preventing the country from being dragged into the war. He pointed to “extraordinary difficulties” facing the European economy amid the environment of persistent inflation resulting from the war, the impact of sanctions and the dramatic rise in energy prices. He said uncertainty on energy markets has affected foreign exchange markets, too.

As long as there’s no peace, sentiment in the European economic environment will not be positive, he said. Addressing Hungary’s ties with Ukraine, Szijjártó said differences over the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine had been “temporarily shelved” because of the wartime circumstances, but he added that the issue will need to be resolved at some point.

He said “shameless accusations” against Hungary are “unfair” and “must be firmly rejected”. Szijjártó said Hungary has condemned the aggression against Ukraine, while undertaking a humanitarian campaign of unprecedented scale, taking in over 830,000 refugees. “We’re not doing that for thanks, we’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do,” he added.

Commenting on a recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union finding Lithuania violated EU rules when it defended its border with Belarus against illegal migration, Szijjártó said

Brussels’ immigration policy would “inspire” the arrival of more and more migrants in Europe.

Szijjártó said the war had put cooperation among the Visegrád Group – Hungary, Czechia, Poland and Slovakia – as well as between Hungary and Poland “to the test”. He added that there had always been issues on which viewpoints differ, but areas on which there was agreement were always strengthened.

Interpretations in the West that these differences spell the end of the Visegrád cooperation are “ridiculous”, he said.

    Brussels’ wish for cheap labor is causing great problems in EU countries. Sweden already realized its mistake of accepting a large number of people with totally different ethnic background, people that cannot assimilate, many still unemployed after 7 years.

    Péter Pipsqueak seems to have forgotten who started the war in Ukraine. It was not ‘Brussels’ it was Moscow. The latter was also instrumental in causing the crisis in Syria.

    @mariavontheresa, Canada made the same mistake – with Hungarians.
