In a message sent to the Brussels news portal Politico on Monday, Minister of State Zoltán Kovács criticised the European Commission’s Justice Scoreboard released last week, saying that the evaluation of judicial independence cannot be based on opinion polls.
According to Minister of State for international communication, the majority of Italians regard the firm stance taken by Hungarians as a model to be followed, and this is a result of the Hungarian government’s consistent policies in the past ten years.
According to Government Spokesperson István Hollik, it is outrageous that Brussels is referring to the migrant cards as a successful programme.
“The fault lines in European party politics are being determined by a new topic: the approach to migration”, the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister’s State Secretary for International Communications and Relations Zoltán Kovács on Kossuth Radio’s “Good Morning, Hungary!” show on Wednesday.
“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.
“Almost four years after the beginning of the migration crisis, many people are still waiting for ‘pan-European’ solutions, but there is no such solution on the horizon, and in view of the realities such a solution would not even be effective”, Zoltán Kovács said in London on Monday.
“The right response to ever increasing migration pressure is not retreat, but the reinforcement of border protection and the statement of the fact that Europe must be protected, and entry cannot be allowed to just anyone”, Government Spokesperson István Hollik said on Hungarian M1 television’s Thursday evening current affairs program.
The European parliamentary (EP) elections to be held on 26 May will be crucial, and the crucial issue at the heart of the elections is the future of Europe, Zoltán Kovács said in Vienna.
“The May European Parliament (EP) elections will be crucial to the EU and the life of the continent because of the migration aimed at Europe”, State Secretary for International Communications and Relations Zoltán Kovács said on Swedish public television’s Agenda program on Sunday evening.
The government expects an answer from the European Commission as to whether it had information about the fact that a Syrian terrorist leader had also been given a migrant bank card.
