Hungary FM: European Competitiveness Is in a Nose Dive

European competitiveness is in a nose dive. This is no surprise, as Brussels over-politicizes and over-ideologizes everything, Peter Szijjarto stated in a post on his social media page after meeting with the Secretary-General of the OECD.

Peter Szijjarto, Hungary's Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister stated that the recipe for developing the European economy is simple: instead of ideology, we need rationality and common sense.

“The OECD and its Secretary-General Mathias Cormann are a good example of this. At the OECD, common sense has always been the foundation of economic debates, and here, everyone clearly sees that dialogue—rather than hatred and stigmatization—leads to results.”

The record amount of investment coming into Hungary and the Hungarian economy’s record-breaking export performance are fully recognized here,

the foreign minister added.
