Hungarian FM spoke against further centralisation.

The strong European Union can only be built on strong member states, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó told a hearing of the parliament's European affairs committee. He said that the European integration is being threatened by five factors: immigration, terrorism, the war in Ukraine, the insecurity of energy supplies and Brexit. According to the Minister there is a debate in Europe between the sovereignist and the federalist side, but taking away competencies and centralising power in Brussels is a dead-end for the EU.
