On Friday, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson told public television channel M1 that it is a secondary issue whether or not Hungary’s plan to combat terrorism is accepted internationally. What is important is that its provisions can guarantee the safety of Hungary’s citizens.

The Minister of State said that it is hard to predict the likelihood of a terrorist attack in Hungary, but the possibilities of such an incident must be minimised. He explained that terrorists look for weak points, and Hungary must not be allowed to become one. A strong system of protection is needed, he added.

Mr. Tuzson also said that the Government must be granted the necessary means to ensure this, therefore it is important that Parliament approves the new legislation on this issue with a two-thirds majority.
