Hungarian foreign minister concerned for European security

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Wednesday flagged “increasingly ominous reports” on Europe’s present and future security situation.

“The stabbing rampage in Solingen — which unfortunately isn’t an isolated occurrence based on the developments in recent months — shocked not only Germany, but the entire continent,” Szijjártó said on Facebook.

Meanwhile, he said, the European Union’s outgoing foreign policy chief was “demanding more weapons for Ukraine and that the country be allowed to use the Western weapons it has received so far to strike in Russian territory”.

Szijjártó said there were “important and critical days ahead”. He noted that EU foreign ministers will meet in Brussels on Thursday and that elections are being held in the German states of Thuringia and Saxony this weekend, which he said would be crucial in terms of the future of Europe’s migration policy.
