Algerian Embassy Displeased with Comments on Migrant Murder
Recent statements by Bence Rétvári, Parliamentary Secretary of State of the Interior Ministry, have sparked controversy regarding the link between migration and public security in Europe. Rétvári claimed that recent violent incidents, such as the murders of children in the UK and the terror threat in Vienna, were evidence of the escalating dangers posed by forced migration.
Specifically, Rétvári highlighted an incident in Spain where Algerian immigrants allegedly stabbed and beheaded a Spanish man in Valencia. He used this incident to emphasize the risks associated with migration and criticized pro-immigration policies for compromising public safety.
In response, the Algerian Embassy of Budapest issued a strong rebuttal, criticizing Rétvári for selectively referencing the nationality of the alleged perpetrators. The embassy pointed out that the suspect in the Valencia murder was actually a Spanish citizen with a criminal record, not as Rétvári suggested.
This clash between Rétvári’s statements and the Algerian Embassy’s response underscores the ongoing debate over migration and its impact on public safety in Europe. As Hungary continues to oppose illegal migration and strengthen its borders, the discussion about migration policies and their effects on security remains contentious.
