Fidesz calls on Mayor of Gödöllő to reveal ‘secret migration pact’
Change language:
Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party has called on György Gémesi, the Mayor of Gödöllő, north-east of Budapest, “to reveal what kind of immigration pacts he is keeping from” local residents. Gémesi’s party rejects the charge of entering into a secret pact on migration.
Fidesz MP László Vécsey in a statement on Monday accused the mayor of “forming an alliance with one of Europe’s most extreme pro-migration political groups”.
Reports say that Gémesi’s party, Új Kezdet, in February joined the European Democratic Party. Vécsey said
the party sits in the European Parliament with “an extreme liberal group that fights for the introduction of the migrant quota”.
He accused Gémesi of being “openly opposed to the will of the city”, insisting that 98 percent of local residents objected to the quota system for relocating migrants.
