This year the central events of the 20 August national holiday will last three days, Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács said.
According to Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács, there is political pressure behind the infringement procedure instituted against Hungary due to the “Stop Soros” legislative package.
According to Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács it is safer to be Jewish in Central Europe than anywhere else in Europe, and “this is related to the new type of anti-Semitism caused by mass migration”.
Although the positions of the anti-immigration Hungarian Government and pro-immigration German Government collide, according to the Government Spokesperson we must concentrate on issues with relation to which the foundations for cooperation are present.
Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács believes it would be more humane if Member States of the European Union provided assistance for the needy locally and if they attempted to prevent migrants from setting out on a journey of thousands of kilometres and coming to Europe illegally only to have to send them back.
“Hungarian-German relations within the fields of the economy, innovation and technology, as well as with relation to defence policy, could advance to a new level and be given a new quality”, the Government Spokesperson said in evaluation of the fact that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
According to the Government Spokesperson, if the will exists, the borders can be protected. Speaking on Hungarian M1 television’s Thursday evening current affairs program, Zoltán Kovács said the Italian measures prove that Europe’s maritime borders can also be protected.
The will of the people regarding the management of illegal immigration must prevail throughout Europe, Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács said at his press conference on Thursday.
“During the past three years the countries of the Visegrád Group (V4) have acted against illegal migration while showing true European solidarity”, Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács stressed on Hungarian M1 television’s Thursday evening current affairs program.
Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács protested against the playing of the anti-Semitism card in a brief letter to the editor published in the newspaper The Globe and Mail after the Canadian newspaper wrote in an article on 1 June that Hungary’s non-Christian minorities appear to be at risk.
