Speaking about the October referendum on compulsory migrant settlement quotas, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson told public television channel M1 on Friday that the nation’s future cannot be the topic of daily political battles.

Mr. Tuzson emphasised that the outcome of the referendum could define Hungary’s economy and culture in the long run – even for fifty or one hundred years. Therefore the campaign must not be turned into a subject for day-to-day politics. The Government’s position remains that the system of quotas must be opposed, he added.

The Minister of State also said that, thanks to the performance of the Hungarian people, the unemployment rate in Hungary is currently around five per cent.
