FM: Hungary does not want war, migration and aggressive gender propaganda

We need to be clear on what kind of future we want to shape, Peter Szijjarto stated.

He considers this a negative development for Central Europe and confirmed that the government is trying to promote a culture of connections and connectivity, but that this would first require a reestablishment of mutual respect within international relations.

International politics must be based on mutual respect, instead of instructing and chastising each other, and attempting to intervene in domestic political processes,

he stated. The FM also touched on the fact that Hungary, which has been a Christian state for more than a thousand years, places great emphasis on the enforcement of religious freedom, which is why it views with increasing concern the threats to Christian, but also to Muslim and Jewish communities around the world.

We reject all religion-based attacks, which target any religious community. And we reject in the strongest possible terms that, unfortunately, even in Europe there are countries where the desecration of religious symbols or the burning of the sacred books of a religion are considered acceptable within the scope of freedom of speech,

he added.

We would like the coming years to be about the alliance between civilizations, cooperation based on mutual respect, freedom of religion, with civilized, calm cooperation between denominations instead of these religious groups and religious communities being attacked either by terrorism or aggressive secularization,

he summarized.
