By improving the speed of decisions and applying the vaccine as soon as possible, it is possible to guarantee the protection of life and health of the people and keep the country functioning, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told MTI on Friday by phone.
The head of the ministry explained: “even virtually, but we have met with five foreign ministers from Central Europe at the initiative of an Austrian colleague.” This means Austria and its four eastern neighbors: Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, a format that was previously introduced and has been maintained ever since, he recalled.
He stressed that this time they were obviously talking about the epidemic situation, because it is true for the entire Central European region that the second wave is an extremely serious challenge for all countries, both in terms of numbers and complexity. During the first wave, “four to five times the record data experienced as an absolute tragedy” has now become the daily average, he said. He added that this shows that the situation is much more serious than it was in the spring.
According to Péter Szijjártó, the situation is perhaps more favorable, as health systems are better prepared, as the epidemic broke out “completely unexpectedly” in the spring. In his view, two things are needed to fulfill the extremely complicated task of simultaneously protecting people’s health and guaranteeing the economy and thus the functioning of the country, as the current debate shows. The first is the speed of decisions, which is why the extension of the extraordinary legal system to 90 days was presented to Parliament. he said. Added by: The one who can now make quick decisions can deliver measurable performance in human lives. ” He stressed that the other important thing is to acquire and use the vaccine as soon as possible. Hungary is also doing well in this regard, because on the basis of the current negotiations Delivery of the vaccine to Hungary can start in small quantities from December and in large quantities from January. he said. He noted that advanced negotiations are also underway with Russia and China, so if a solution is reached from the East rather than the West, it will be possible to apply it here.
