At a press conference on Tuesday, in reference to the Brussels attacks, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said that it is undeniable that illegal migration has increased the threat of terrorism in Europe.

The Minister said that today probably no European person in their right mind would question the fact that the threat of terrorism has clearly increased.

Mr. Szijjártó said that the threat of terrorism has been increased by the daily, illegal and uncontrolled arrival in the continent of thousands of people with unknown identities, origins and future intentions.

He stressed that the Government of Hungary guarantees the safety of Hungary’s citizens: all the measures recently introduced by the Cabinet have pointed in this direction.

The Government has been repeatedly attacked, but its measures serve to ensure the safety of Hungary’s citizens, Mr. Szijjártó said.
