Taliban delegation arrives in Brussels for talks amid public outrage

A delegation from Afghanistan's Taliban government arrived in Brussels for technical discussions with the European Union. The talks focus on the return of Afghan citizens whose asylum applications have been legally rejected. The European Commission stated the meeting is strictly technical and does not imply diplomatic recognition of the Taliban regime.

Despite the EU's clarification, the visit has generated significant public outcry. Concerns are particularly high regarding the potential return of individuals who have committed serious criminal offenses. The EU argues that the cooperation of the receiving country is essential for repatriating rejected asylum seekers and deporting criminals.

The Hungarian newspaper, Magyar Nemzet, frames the visit with a critical tone, highlighting the "outrage" surrounding the delegation's presence. The article implies a tension between the EU's need for technical cooperation and the public's unease about the implications of engaging with the Taliban.

the meeting is purely technical and in no way constitutes official diplomatic recognition of the Taliban government.
