Szijjarto welcomes approaching replacement of European Commission

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday Hungary was looking forward to the replacement of the outgoing European Commission. Europe, he told MTI by phone, faced many challenges, and the outgoing EC had shown itself unfit to handle them. The minister said that in the past five years the EC's decisions had run contrary to Europe's economic and security interests. After attending a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Helsinki, Szijjarto said the commission had deepened the migration crisis by opening up its borders and inviting in "hundreds of thousands, or rather millions" of migrants. "This is a clear security risk," he said.
