Hungarian Foreign Minister: Europe must learn lesson from Brexit

Europe must learn the lesson from Brexit, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has said.

The first lesson is that “people’s opinions should be heard, even in Brussels,” Szijjártó said in press statements circulated by the Hungarian Embassy in Cairo Monday.

The second is that it is not possible to avoid the consequences of politics that neglect Europeans’ opinions or go against them, he added.

It is in everybody’s interest to have a strong Europe but that is only possible if the EU gives real responses to serious challenges because Europe cannot be strong if its responses weaken the member states and the EU.

An additional lesson to be learnt is that “the age of sincere politics must come to Europe”. In the recent period, the EU has pursued hypocritical politics concerned with political correctness and as a result, it was unable to offer the correct responses to a number of challenges and crises.
