Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 also insisted that the so-called\u00a0\u201cSoros Plan\u201d, the alleged plans of US financier George Soros concerning migration, did exist \u201cas a clear concept\u201d and \u201cthere seems to be a parallel\u201d with the UN chief\u2019s recent statement. The foreign minister said that both the stance of the UN declaration and of the secretary-general\u2019s statement were in conflict with Hungary\u2019s position and interests in connection with migration. They suggested that \u201cmigration is good and unavoidable\u201d, while according to the Hungarian government, migration is \u201cnot a positive trend\u201d and it \u201cposes serious security risks and can be stopped.\u201d It occurs that if Hungary will quit the talk, it will not be able to take part in the vote either. Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 acknowledged that if a country quits the negotiations, it quits all of its elements. In an interview with the Times of Malta, Deputy State Secretary Krist\u00f3f Altusz responded to questions about Hungary\u2019s stance on migrants and its relationship with the EU by\u00a0insisting that the country had already taken in about 1,300 refugees\u00a0over the course of 2017 alone.\u00a0This seems to contradict to the government\u2019s rhetoric, which in the past two years alone, has launched several major campaigns around the issue of Europe\u2019s migrant and refugee crisis. via Hungary Matters, Index, New York Times featured photo: MTI \/ Zolt\u00e1n Balogh Source:\u00a0hungarytoday.hu","og_url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/","og_site_name":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BocskaiRadio","article_published_time":"2018-02-04T03:55:17+00:00","og_image":[{"width":749,"height":415,"url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Csibi Lor\u00e1nd","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3.jpg","twitter_creator":"@BocskaiRadio","twitter_site":"@BocskaiRadio","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/"},"author":{"name":"Csibi Lor\u00e1nd","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/10edfc7ddc0e006131357c2bcb81b96b"},"headline":"HUNGARIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: HUNGARY TO QUIT UN TALKS ON MIGRATION PACKAGE IF DRAFT STAYS \u2018PRO-MIGRATION\u2019","datePublished":"2018-02-04T03:55:17+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/"},"wordCount":421,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3.jpg","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/","url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/hungarian-foreign-minister-hungary-quit-un-talks-migration-package-draft-stays-pro-migration\/","name":"HUNGARIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: HUNGARY TO QUIT UN TALKS ON MIGRATION PACKAGE IF DRAFT STAYS \u2018PRO-MIGRATION\u2019 &#8211;
