He mentioned the 2017 FINA World Aquatics Championships, the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix and the Sziget music festival.
“The Manchester attack also confirms that the terrorist threat in Europe has not diminished, but has increased”, he told reporters, adding that Hungary was however in a lucky situation thanks the fact that the reduction of illegal migration means fewer people who are capable of committing such acts are able to enter the country, Kormány.hu reported.
