Statement of the Government Communication Centre
Government Communication Centre: The government is not planning to change the electoral law.
The government welcomes the latest development that the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has approved the appointment of Olivér Várhelyi as EU commissioner. The Hungarian opposition’s machinations have failed; they did everything they could to ensure that Hungary should not have an EU commissioner, but they have failed.
The pressure of migration is intensifying, there are more than a hundred thousand registered migrants on the Balkans route, György Bakondi, the Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister said on Friday evening on the public service television news channel M1.
The government will present to Parliament a number of bills which serve to protect the Hungarian economy, Hungarian families and the security of Hungary.
The number of illegal immigrants at Hungary’s borders is increasing intensively; this year, the number of those attempting to cross the border illegally has exceeded ten thousand.
Turkey is a key player in European security.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of migrants in Italy has increased significantly, and the situation could further deteriorate as the new Italian Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese is consulting with civil-society organisations about how to make the rescue of illegal immigrants more effective.
The Hungarian State will do everything it can to point out on the basis of factual legal arguments that the European Court’s advocate-general is applying political double standards.
