The European Union’s strategic agenda for the next five years should address national competencies concerning the issue of migration, respect for sovereignty and the protection of Christian culture, said the Hungarian state secretary for international communications and relations.

In last month’s European Parliament election, Hungarians entrusted the ruling alliance with three objectives: to stop illegal immigration, to protect national sovereignty and to protect Christian culture in Europe, Zoltan Kovacs told a press conference.

In line with this mandate, the text of the bloc’s next strategic agenda must include a clause declaring that the EU should ensure the preservation of national competencies when it comes to managing migration, Kovacs said. Hungary’s proposal aims to stop illegal migration, he said, adding that to do so, the EU would have to work together with its neighbouring countries.

Concerning the next objective, Kovacs said the EU’s institutional system should respect the sovereignty of the bloc’s member states, arguing that the EU could only be strong if its member states are.

As regards the protection of Europe’s Christian culture, Kovacs said: “Christianity is the foundation of European culture, and, accordingly, it must be ensured that the EU’s strategic document includes the fundamental value of European culture and the protection of Christianity.” He said the document should also devote special attention to persecuted Christians.
