Kovacs to Swedish TV: EP election 'decisive' due to migration

The issue of migration is making the European parliamentary elections in May "decisive" for the continent and the European Union, the Hungarian state secretary for international communication and relations said on Swedish public television . Zoltan Kovacs and Stanislas Guerini, executive officer of the French ruling party, La Republique in Marche!, were guests on the current news programme Agenda on Sveriges Television. Ahead of the discussion with the guests, a video interview with Frans Timmermans, the deputy head of the European Commission, was aired. Kovacs said European civilisation is "fundamentally Christian in nature, if not religiously, then culturally". Regarding charges that Hungary is infringing on the basic values of the EU, Kovacs said "we have no bad consciousness about those issues, especially not since the outbreak of the migration crisis three years ago, because it's nothing but politics. The procedures the European Parliament and even the Commission have started against Hungary ... are a political witch hunt ... against Hungary."
