Hungary FM: Brussels Is Preparing to Take Two Dangerous Steps

Brussels is preparing to take two new and dangerous economic policy decisions, yet the government will protect Hungarian farmers and Hungarian jobs, and this will remain the case for as long as a national government is in power, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto stated in Brussels on Monday.

"Hungary is highly successful in this competition. We have been able to create the most attractive investment environment in the EU. We are constantly breaking investment records, with cutting-edge investments coming in that have created tens and hundreds of thousands of jobs in recent years, and we have won all of these investments in fierce competition, in many cases against western European countries," he said.

And now here in Brussels they want to artificially eliminate the competitive advantage of central Europe and Hungary in attracting investments, because they are fed up with us consistently beating western European countries in the competition for large investments,

he added.
He made it clear that despite all this, the government will protect Hungarian farmers and Hungarian jobs.

As long as there is a national government in Hungary, we will not allow low-quality Ukrainian grain to enter Hungary; neither will we allow agricultural products from South America to flood the Hungarian food market and ruin Hungarian farmers. Similarly, we will not allow Brussels to decide which European countries receive investment and which don't,

he stressed.
"In recent years, numerous bad, harmful, and dangerous decisions have been made in Brussels regarding the European economy, so we must be prepared that such decisions will continue to occur frequently in the future," the minister warned.

Our task is to protect Hungary, the Hungarian economy, and Hungarian families from these dangerous, harmful decisions coming out of Brussels. And as long as there is a national government in Hungary, we will protect the Hungarian people from Brussels’ dangerous economic policy decisions,

he concluded.
