5:32 pm
you know we've spoken to for some fifteen years but it was in the height on the when they were coming through countries yes they they came through at least five peaceful countries so my question is whether anyone could show me can't because they admit that if anyone could show me any point in international regulations which would say that you have a right to wake up in the morning pick a country that you would like to live in any norah to get there violates your resolve borders it's not a human right the human right is that you are in trouble you have to you are forced to leave your home you go to the first safe place they are you going to be taken care of but it's not written anywhere that you are allowed to lade the border between two peaceful countries because you want to get through know those people who came to us came from turkey greece must have donya sometimes barbaria serbia croatia five six safe countries my question is how can you be a refugee after you while eight borders between five safe countries my question is
5:33 pm
about refugees who need to find somewhere to live and the european union has come up with ideas to spread them around europe right now or as i understand it from the latest statistics i can find that you have ten million people in your country and three thousand five hundred fifty five refugees living in a hungry you're not taking your fair share there are people who are fleeing the war they're fleeing famine don't some of them isn't it fair for you to take in some we are taking part in the burden sharing because respond already more than a billion euros on protecting the sort of the border of the european union this is number one number two we have launched a program which is called hungary helps we are spending millions of euros on helping the community is in the middle east. because you know when when the bishops come to us the christian bishops come to us from the middle east they always ask us please do not help our people to leave the area because our communities will be
5:34 pm
eliminated please help us to be able to return and please help us to be able to get stronger to you know what you said our bishops you know you only have been helping christians we have a special program to help christians and we are not muslims. we are a christian country we feel responsible for the for the christian people and says there are no other no other targeted program for the christians we do it so what we do is the following we have rebuilt religious for the christians their day used to be a living for centuries and they were forced to leave. villages where they can return we are building schools there are covering expenditures of hospitals are building cultural institutions we are giving hundred scholarships every year fully finest by the hungry and state to be able to get more to be able to be more competent more competitive how can you say that we don't take the fair share what about corruption
5:35 pm
transparency international puts you below montenegro on its list of corruption montenegro can't get into the e.u. because it's too corrupt what do you make of some allegations for example the your prime minister has used public funds and channel e.u. funds to lake palatal to two areas where he has close friends and relatives with properties that's as being a ridiculous number and ridiculous through are to accuse the prime minister of such kind of issues number two is being ridiculous he's not be all he's not in on the accusation is the anyone could be guilty of something but this trip. but it's. it's a lie that the montenegro is not a member of european union because of because of corruption there is not truth as simply a lie and it's a simply a lie that the prime minister uses probably funds for a private reasons it's not. and so i have to say i have to reject that and it's and it's a really a scandal that such kind of things can be said to be honest and these are the sort
5:36 pm
of a lot of consequences that these are these are the sort of allegations that are out there some of these things are in that report that went to the european parliament what happens next because clearly there's a procedure in europe what are you going to do next well you know in this case the general affairs council which is the body of the ministers responsible for europe integration of the member states comes together and based on the viel of the presidency which is now austria and then you have hearings one or two also three incidentally is run by a conservative government that is in the same european people's party as you one there and and and they didn't back you one vote one party of them one party of them as a member of the open people's party. then but they didn't back you that's important in the party of the chancellor. so well you must be disappointed you know i
5:37 pm
understood that friendship and politics must not be computers anymore but anyway so . one or two hearings and then afterwards the real be put on the agenda of the consulate itself you know the gathering of the heads of state and government of the european union and there you name a decision must be made if if any sanctions would be applied and i've got other people on your side of course we do the polish and the czech prime polish government and czech prime minister made it very clear that they would veto any kind of sanctions against hungary we are not the only country against which this this procedure is going on because the similar kind of procedure has been going on against poland but this it's much it's in a much more advanced face let's read this way because it has been started as far as i remember last year already and we made it very clear that he would veto any kind of sanctions against the boards because because the the critics on boards are just being ridiculous i mean that's on the reform of judiciary and i i'm not british
5:38 pm
sure that all those who put these allegations on the polish have read. the new laws and understood the reform procedure i spent a lot of time with that because i really wanted to be sure what i say about their issue and and i really studied they are a judicial reform they want to make it they want to make procedures quicker they definitely made decisions about the highest score but i mean that they are and they are a government directed by the people so they have to govern the country to the satisfaction of the people and i don't see that they would have committed anything against the against a contract of the european union we have european elections next year do you feel that perhaps the european parliament action could backfire given there are lots of populist nationalist parties around europe the potentially might support you i think that that european parliament election. we have a big stake i mean i i would say the biggest ever and it's going to take place next
5:39 pm
may a totally new type of commission and and i'm pretty sure that the new set up of european parliament will be established do you see some split in the european union or will parties like yours and governments like yours try to change europe from within what i can tell you is that we take part in the debate about the future of the european union there are two concepts at least in the rivalry in the federalist tick over a mystic we see how we feel and we we definitely take part havoline the debate with you represent our position central european countries have very similar kind of mindset in this regard pretty much common sense i think it's not without a good reason that the central europe in the region is now among the most successful regions of the european union if you look at the growth figures for example our average growth is twice as high as the european average overall so we tried to be a girlfriend to the to the. union and we see very all these debates and all but i
5:40 pm
think you know having a debate about the future of e.u. is a very democratic thing there are some that say if hungary was not a member of the you and it was applying now given the things that were in that parliamentary report you wouldn't be sent to these sorts of the are members of your opinion i know but you would you know accepted no you don't meet the criteria yeah we do this year we do. it the foreign minister peter c. otto thank you for it will be zero i appreciate thanks for the opportunity i . this week why people in brazil feel that the next president can't save the economy and what that means for the rest of america drugs and the world's big drug companies charge such high prices for prescription
5:41 pm
