Szijjarto: Hungarians in 1956 incomparable to current mass migration
New York, October 1 (MTI) – The situation of Hungarians who left the country after the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising cannot be compared to the current mass migration, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday at a meeting with Jan Eliasson, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.
“We must not allow the situation of the people who fled from the Communist dictatorship in Hungary in the 1950s to be compared to the current mass migration,” he told MTI after the meeting.
“The facts are that Hungarians who left their homes after 1956 were peaceful and cooperated with authorities in foreign countries; they respected other countries’ laws and did not attack the officials of these countries. What we are witnessing now is that the current wave of migration is coupled with major aggression and a significant number of migrants disrespect the laws and regulations of other countries and Europe,” he added.
These two situations are incomparable and anybody claiming the opposite should be rebutted, he said.
Szijjarto said he was in agreement with Eliasson that the migration wave was a global challenge and global responses were needed. Europe should not be left alone. Further, current global trends such as the increasingly difficult access to water, climate change and drawn-out war conflicts all point in the direction of mass migration remaining a long-term problem, Szijjarto added.

Mi Külföldi figyelnek egy finom fogú fésűvel, mi a mondás Szíjjártó Péter. Mi teljesen egyetértek, és dicsérni, hogy állva a szüleinknek sorsát. Apám beállt a hadseregbe augusztus 1956 előtt ez a felkelés, azt az utasítást kapta, hogy hozzá kell rendelni a határőrség helyett. Minden azután történt, mint őszén a magyar kormány, mint annak idején, 1944-ben apám végül Ausztriába menekült (1957), ahol úgy kezelték, tisztességes és ahol tud küldeni neki, hogy találkozzon a testvére Kanada (bácsikám, elhunyt most ) de az apám jelentős lépéseket tett itt, Kanadában és még a politikusok találkoztak vele mint a kanadai érdekeit … Ő itt él és virul, és tanúsíthatom, hogy bármi valaki mondani, hogyan viselkedtek, és kezelték, majd vissza. Az ő történetei, egy menekült nem tette hullámok, tiltakozások, illetve mer támadást hatóságok, vagy akár mer kereslet, BÁRMIT !! Tőlük, illetve a kockázat egyre dobta vissza !!!
Nem tudom elhinni, néhány jelentések a harcok, igények, a rock dobás, a média kijelzők, vagy a “nyugati média” túl feltűnően vásárolta meg valószínűleg a szaúdi arab, GYERMEK perverzek! Is finanszírozza túl nyilvánvaló dinasztia amerikai birodalom. Látom Kína és Oroszország, hogy a következő, remélhetőleg lesznek igazságosabb világ és ellenőrzési belső korrupció jobb … ..
We outsider brothers are watching with a fine tooth comb what your saying SZIJJARTO PETER. We totally agree and praise you for standing up to our parents plight. My dad enlisted to the army in august 1956 before this uprising, he was instructed to be assigned to the border guard service instead. Everything happened afterwards like the fall of the Hungarian government, as it did in 1944. My dad finally escaped to Austria (1957) where they treated him fair and where able to send him to meet his brother in Canada (My Uncle, passed away now) but my dad made significant strides here in Canada and even politicians have met with him over Canadian interests… He is here alive and well and can attest to anything anyone has to say on how they behaved and were treated back then. From his stories, a refugee didn’t make waves, protests, or dare attack authorities, or even DARE to DEMAND, ANYTHING!! from them, or risk getting tossed back!!!
I can’t believe some of the reports of fighting, demands, rock throwing, media displays, or the ‘WESTERN MEDIA’ TOO OBVIOUSLY bought out by probably the SAUDI ARABIC, CHILD PERVERTS! Also funding the too obvious dynasty US empire. I see China and Russia as being the next, hopefully they will be fairer to the world and control inside corruption better…..
