In his speech, he emphasized that all three premium German car brands, apart from Germany and China, are the only ones with a production base located here, as well as other research related to autonomous driving.
world-leading German companies also regard our country as an important research location.
Péter Szijjártó emphasized that the goal is for our country to transition from the “Made in Hungary” period to the “Invented in Hungary” period.
The head of the ministry also spoke about the fact that there is a serious security, migration, economic and energy crisis in Europe, but since 2010 several crises have hit the continent and Hungary has emerged from all of them stronger. According to his own words, the reason why this happened in his own government was because he always gave Hungarian answers to crisis situations.
While everyone was calling for migrants to be admitted, we built a fence”
he stated.
Péter Szijjártó continued by saying that while everyone expected that the vaccines would come at some point, we bought them from another geographical direction, he did not accept that this was a political position. He pointed out that when everyone wanted to distribute aid on a social basis, the government launched Hungary’s largest economic development and investment support program.
And we are not willing to perceive energy procurement as either a political or an ideological issue.”
he indicated.
According to Péter Szijjártó, the best defense is attack, therefore the goal is to attract the largest and most advanced technological level investments to Hungary, without which it is not possible to maintain growth. As he reminded, a good example of this is that, despite the difficulties in the world economy, the record for the largest investment ever was broken last year and again this year, moreover, both were announced in the field of the automobile industry, which is undergoing a revolutionary transformation.
The minister believed that our country has already become one of the European strongholds of the electric car industry, for which, among other things, it was necessary that the tax burdens of production and development companies are the lowest here, and that the government does not see energy supply as a political or ideological issue.
Not a single household, family, but also not a single business can find itself in the unworthy position of not having sufficient energy carriers for its operation and life”
– He told.
