Szijjártó rejects German minister’s “attack” on Hungary
Budapest (MTI) – Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, said that German Justice Minister Heiko Maas had launched a “harsh and baseless attack” on Hungary in an interview published in the Saturday issue of the German weekly Der Spiegel.
Maas said that Hungary had even refused to give bread and water to the refugees and Prime Minister Viktor Orban had threatened them with forceful evacuation. The German minister said that many people are fleeing from war, torture and violence and Orban is unwilling to give safe haven to a single Muslim refugee.
In response, Szijjártó said that “lying and making false accusations are unworthy of a European politician”. He noted that Hungary had granted accommodation and services to 400,000 illegal migrants last year in line with the international regulations.
“We regretted to learn, however, that the illegal migrants had become increasingly aggressive, refused to cooperate with the authorities and wantonly occupied the Keleti railway station”, he said.
These people were illegal economic migrants rather than refugees, Szijjártó said, warning that potentially 30 to 35 million people living close to Europe may make up their mind to set off for this continent.
Szijjártó stressed that Hungary will not accept illegal economic migrants. “Our duty is to help these people get back their former life in their homeland rather than give them a new life in Europe,” he said.

Someone should remind Her Heiko Maas of who, started off this migration fiasco, which if allowed to drag on and on by the Brussels Commissioners will drag down the whole of the Union or prohibit the main tennet of the Union that of “Free Movement”.
Perhaps as a way of repentance both he and Mrs Merkel should stand by the barriers and both hand out refreshments and explain to the somewhat angry economic migrants why Europe is full up and Germany is at a loss of what to do with those she’s got.
They aren’t listening to common sense but the E.U.
Ironic how the Germans, Austrians etc are still having a go at Hungary yet are prepared to sell out Europe by allowing a deal with Turkey. Poor Greece is left to sink or swim on its own. Hungary has spent a fortune and Macedonia and Serbia are poor. Yet these are the only countries who are trying to save Europe. The rest make me sick and should be ashamed of themselves.
Wake up leftist communist liberal politicians. I refuse to believe you do not see what is truly going on. This is the mass Islamization of Europe. This is a recipe for disaster. Forcing this on the European population will eventually lead to full blown war. Even the easiest going Europeans will eventually say enough is enough.
