Government: EU siding with human smugglers, no rush to ratify Sweden’s NATO bid
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Monday said it was “amazing” that “certain European politicians” were “still on the side of migrants, who frequently fire shots at Hungary’s southern border” and they were also “on the side of people smugglers”.
In response to the German foreign minister’s suggestion that asylum seekers arriving in the European Union should be distributed among the member states “in an orderly and fair way,” Szijjártó said: “Certain European politicians have been living in a state of delusion since 2015.”
In a Facebook post, the minister said the politicians in question persisted in arguing in favour of the acceptance and redistribution of migrants in the EU, “despite the extraordinary wave of migrants, parallel societies, no-go zones and aggressive pressure” of migrants at the border.
Migrants must be stopped at the border, not distributed, he said. “We should clear the air in Brussels and Berlin, and make clear that crossing the border illegally is a serious crime that should be punished accordingly,” Szijjártó said.

Orbán: Hungary in no rush to ratify Sweden’s NATO bid
Hungary is in no rush to ratify Sweden’s NATO accession, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told opposition lawmakers on Monday. Sweden’s security is not under any threat, and there is no strategic element of Swedish-Hungarian relations that would be harmed if Hungary demands respect from Sweden before approving its bid, the prime minister said in response to opposition rebuttals to his speech opening parliament’s autumn session.
Referring to a video recently presented in Swedish schools on Hungarian democracy, Orbán said the government “doesn’t care what kind of films they make”, but did care about what Swedish school children were taught about Hungary “because that is a question of state politics”. Meanwhile, he said the outcome of the war in Ukraine was “not an a la carte menu”, calling the idea that Russia would reach Hungary’s border through military force “nonsense”. “There is no scenario that would lead to Hungary and Russia sharing a border again, because Hungary is a member of NATO,” he said.
