Germany: Bavaria and Hungary about refugees and migration

in EUROPE/POLITICS by

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has used his controversial visit to the CSU National Group for a drastic description of the refugee crisis. This had become a “democracy problem” for Europe, said Orbán in front of journalists.
While CSU leader Horst Seehofer emphasized the rule of law Orbán, SPD, Greens and left criticized the visit.
Orban repeated a statement from 2015, when he described himself as the “border patrol captain” of Bavaria. “Consider me still as her border patrol captain.”
The migration issue has now become fundamental for Europe” Orban said. The European people clearly do not want to live under terrorism. The people want security and the borders to be protected.
He therefore thinks that the year 2018 will be “the year of the restoration of popular will in Europe”.
“Bavaria and Hungary have long combined respect and friendship,” added Horst Seehofer afterwards. The state of Bavaria will launch an initiative to strengthen the Central European states. “And Hungary will be part of it.”

Peter Szijjart says that Ukraine must revoke education law

in POLITICS/PRESS RELEASE/REGIONS by

Speaking of Ukraine and its education law at a press conference on the sidelines of the Eastern European Summit on November 24, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Hungary would not “sacrifice” ethnic Hungarians living in western Ukraine “on the altar of world politics”, according to the Hungarian Journal. Any attempt to place the Hungarian government’s position on Ukraine in a misguided geopolitical context will be resisted, he told the press conference, the Hungarian Journal reported. Ukraine is in a decision-making position, he said, because if it truly cares about European and Euro-Atlantic integration, it must fulfill its international obligations. The country must revoke its education law that violates the rights of minorities, the minister said, adding it could count on Hungary’s staunch support as soon as it remedies the situation.
