Hungary FM Issues Ominous Warning Re: Brussels’ Migration Policy + Video

Brussels’ migration policy is blatantly self-destructive Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warned on Monday in Budapest. He stressed that, unlike the EU leadership, Hungary’s pro-nation government has drawn a firm line against illegal migration — and remains fully committed to doing so — which is why it is also pushing for immediate humanitarian aid for Sudan.

According to the ministry’s statement, FM Szijjarto held talks with his Sudanese counterpart, Mohieldin Salim Ahmed Ibrahim, before addressing a joint press conference. He emphasized that humanity is living in an “age of dangers,” and one of the greatest challenges is illegal migration — the consequences of which, he said, “everyone in Western Europe can already feel.” He argued that Brussels’ migration policy is “outright suicidal,” and has lead to a dramatic deterioration of Europe’s security situation.

In Western Europe, parallel societies have emerged, a loud minority dominates local communities, and the threat of terrorism is rising (…) All of this is the result of Brussels not wanting to stop the migration waves, but rather to manage them,

he warned.

“With their migrant quotas, their push to redistribute migrants, and their insistence on the migration pact, Brussels is bringing massive danger onto Europe. It is clear Brussels has not abandoned its push for the pact — and it is also clear they have people here in Hungary who want to put it into effect,” he said.

But here in Hungary, the pro-nation government has stopped the migration pressure. And we remain committed to that in the future,

he added.

Peter Szijjarto argued that Brussels is making a “giant mistake” by failing to grasp the scale of the challenges facing Africa, pointing out that the continent’s population will grow by roughly one billion people over the next 25 years. “If we do not launch comprehensive programs to develop African economies and strengthen their healthcare and education systems, then two tragic outcomes are possible: either the worst humanitarian catastrophe ever seen in Africa, or the greatest migration pressure Europe has ever faced,” he said.

He described Sudan as a “tragic example,” noting that the armed conflict there has left roughly 40 million people in immediate need of assistance,

with many millions displaced. He urged Brussels to finally acknowledge the catastrophic situation, warning that if it fails to act, “tens of millions more could set out toward Europe — and nothing will stop them until they reach Hungary’s southern border.”

That’s why we are urging immediate aid for Sudan — to manage the humanitarian crisis and stabilize the security situation,

he said.

We Hungarians have already done our part, and we stand ready to do more. We helped deliver ten thousand tons of grain from Ukraine to Sudan. We are prepared to provide additional food shipments, and to supply medical equipment to help prevent the spread of deadly infectious diseases,

he added.

Scholarship Programs

FM Szijjarto also mentioned Hungary’s scholarship programs, noting that while 25 Sudanese students currently study at Hungarian universities each year, more than 500 applied this year alone. 

We are ready to expand this program as well, helping Sudan build long-term stability after peace returns — so it will not once again become an emitting country of massive migration waves toward Europe. Migration is not something to be managed; the root causes must be eliminated,

he concluded.
