Mr. Rogán said that the opposition is still not taking the threat of terrorism seriously. He pointed out that the government is only asking for means [of combatting terrorism] that western European governments already have.
Reviewing Europe’s security policy situation and the Brussels terrorist attacks, the government has decided to prepare an anti-terrorism action plan. As the opposition’s support is also needed in order to discuss and approve the plan, the government has pursued five-party talks on the issue. Mr. Rogán said that the action plan includes a number of measures that would increase Hungary’s ability to protect itself. The cabinet plans to develop staff, equipment and technology in police and security units.
