The president of the parliament discussed the importance of nation states at the meeting of Hungarian lawmakers.

There's no alternative to the democratic legitimacy of the nation states, the President of the Hungarian Parliament, László Kövér said at the meeting of lawmakers from the Carpathian Basin. There are “faceless and ruthless” global interest groups that want to take over the role of sovereign, democratic and internationally cooperative nation states in Europe, he said. With the decline of the unipolar world, Pax Americana has to be replaced in eastern-central Europe by Pax Europae Mediae or Pax Danubia or Pax Carpatica, he said. It will strengthen the cooperation in the region, put an end to the ethnic rivalry, he added.

Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó stressed the importance of trust between neighbouring countries to resolve issues.
