FM: New right-wing majority in the EP would bring hope

The foreign minister said Brussels invariably gives the wrong response to the most serious economic and security challenges ever faced by the European Union.

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said in Budapest over the weekend that a "new, right-wing majority" in the European Parliament after next year's EP elections would give "hope for Europe again to be a safe and developing continent".

Brussels “invariably gives the wrong response to the most serious economic and security challenges ever faced by the European Union,” Minister Szijjártó told a joint press conference with Martin Helme, the head of Estonia’s Conservative People’s Party. “The liberal mainstream is trying to rule over everything in Europe and create a kind of united states of Europe through weakening member countries to the extreme … they have launched a brutal attack against the institution of the family and pose an unprecedented danger to the European Union through [allowing] migration,” Szijjártó said. “We need to act quickly because the EU is weakening quickly and Brussels is extending its powers quickly; we must put an end to federalisation, gender propaganda, and the influx of migrants,” he said, calling for cooperation between the right-wing conservative and Christian Democratic parties, which “must do well” in next year’s EP election. “That is why we also support the Estonian Conservative People’s Party,” he said and thanked the party for their “support to Hungary’s sovereignty” in recent years.
