The issue of whether migration is stopped or enabled is what is at stake in the intergovernmental debate on the UN global migration package, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said at a press conference.
Peter Szijjarto said the four intergovernmental rounds, followed by a decision on the global migration package at the end of the year, were conducted by UN member states the majority of which were either the source of migration or transit countries, so they were interested in organising migration and urged the package's approval, MTI reported. "Confronting all this is Hungary, which is urging a halt to migration," the minister said.
Szijjarto said it was regrettable that instead of representing the security interests of EU citizens, Brussels had sought a common position before Tuesday's debate in support of the organisation of migration. Hungary vetoed this but, unprecedentedly, the EU presented its standpoint as a united one with a view to quashing Hungary in voicing its position, he said.
