Szijjarto warns against 'socialist-type' proposals

Some Western European countries are seeking to break central Europe's competitiveness "through a socialist-type economic policy", the foreign minister told MTI on Wednesday on the sidelines of an economic forum in Poland's Krynica. Peter Szijjarto cited "demands" to harmonise taxes and debt communitisation. He warned that if such proposals were to be implemented "the competitiveness of the central European region as well as of the European Union as a whole would be killed".
