“The parliamentary elections on Sunday will determine the fate of the people who live here for a long time to come, because we will decide on whether Hungary will continue to have a government that protects the countries interests or one that bows to international pressure following 8 April”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said at a press conference in Dunakeszi.

“What is at stake is whether they can begin the resettlement of migrants to Hungary”, Mr. Szijjártó said. “If they ‘ram this down our throats’ then ‘they would resettle 10 thousand immigrants to Hungary before the end of this year’, and if they were to do this then we would no longer be able to recognise our own homeland”, he added.

“There are many who want to break us. The UN, the EU bureaucrats, George Soros’s network and the opposition parties all want us to admit huge numbers of immigrants. They want an open society, but we want Hungary to continue to be Hungarian. This is something with regard to which we know no compromise”, he said.

“The UN also wants to ban countries from differentiating between their own citizens and immigrants who have entered the country illegally, meaning both would be entitled to the exact same services”, the Minister explained.

“If the new government does not stand up to international pressure, then not only will the border barrier cease to exist, but the migrants who arrive in Hungary will have to be afforded everything that taxpayers who have been working here for decades are eligible to receive”, Mr. Szijjártó declared.

“We have paid too high a price for our freedom and independence to surrender them now”, the Minister said, calling on everyone to give both of their votes to the candidates of the Fidesz-KDNP coalition on Sunday.

“People for whom Hungary’s security and the future of our children are important can only count on the governing parties”, he said, stressing that the current government will continue to fight to retain the border security fence and against the migrant quota and the global migration package in Geneva, Brussels or even New York if they receive a mandate to do so and once again win a majority in the new National Assembly.

In reply to a question, Mr, Szijjártó declared: “Migration is one of the most intensive processes in Europe today, and an extremely dangerous one; 28 terrorist attacks have been committed in the EU over the past three years”.

The Minister confirmed that the current government will not be supporting the UN Compact for Migration until it includes the 12-point Hungarian proposal, and that together with the other countries of the Visegrád Group it will continue to veto the EU’s resettlement quotas, highlighting the fact that the V4 continues to represent a unified stance on the issue.
