The primary goals of Hungary's foreign policy are to promote peace, protect national sovereignty and preserve the country's economic neutrality, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Budapest.
The situation on the rule of law has further deteriorated in Hungary, permanent Hungarian rapporteur of the European Parliament Tineke Strik said on Tuesday, also criticising the Hungarian government for the lack of judicial independence and the increase in corruption.
Addressing a debate in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, opposition Tisza Party MEP Peter Magyar said the premierships of Ferenc Gyurcsany and Viktor Orban "were the decades of missed opportunities", insisting that Hungary had become "the poorest and most corrupt" country in the European Union.
The Italians and the Hungarians are two freedom fighter people that never surrender, never give up their freedom and never give up their countries to foreigners, the prime minister said in Pontida, in northern Italy, where he addressed as guest speaker the annual rally held by Matteo Salvini's League party.
