The Hungarians and their security are the main concern of the Hungarian Government, said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto answering the Swedish Foreign Minister, Margot Wallstrom's comments.
“The Hungarian people and their security are the most important for the Hungarian Government, not allowing illegal immigrants arriving from safe countries to get into Hungary unlawfully and to move around freely”, said Mr Szijjarto, adding when Margot Wallstrom “is taking about a difference in approach, and she is correct”. “When not long ago a disabled Hungarian girl needed help to be able to remain in Sweden because her only relatives are living there, Sweden did not feel this was possible and did not provide the required assistance, despite the fact that the Hungarian Government was prepared to contribute towards the costs of her continued residence”, he recalled.
The disables Hungarian girl did not receive a “blanket” in Sweden, in contrast to illegal immigrants. “This is the hypocritical approach that the Hungarian Government cannot and is not prepared to assume”, he declared. “The Swedish Government naturally has the right to decide who is important to them, and the Hungarian Government is acting similarly”, he highlighted.
