“Efforts on the part of member states must be coordinated in such a way that only those are able to cross Europe’s borders who have a right to do so”, Zoltán Kovács said.
Speaking on Hungarian M1 television’s Tuesday evening current affairs program, the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister’s State Secretary for International Communications and Relations highlighted: “The first step towards the handling and resolving of the migration situation is that Europe’s borders must be protected”.
“The first of the seven points put forward by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is about the fact that the Brussels bureaucrats must be prevented from trying to tell us what the solution is with relation to handling migration”, Mr. Kovács said, adding that the solution lies not in pan-European, unified “migration management”, but in border protection.
“We encourage Hungarian voters to express their opinions on crucial issues.”, Mr. Kovács emphasised. “How the people of Europe will decide at the 26 May European Parliament (EP) elections will be a milestone”, the State Secretary declared, explaining: “This time, it really does matter who and what kind of people are sitting in the European Parliament”.
With relation to the fact that the rule of law proceedings launched against Hungary are once again on the agenda, Mr. Kovács said that in his evaluation “there is an election campaign going on”. “During the past eight years the issue of the rule of law has been a ‘rubber bone’, based on which a ‘witch hunt’ is going on against countries that do not fall in line with the political ideas of the Brussels bureaucrats”, he declared.
