Orbán: Europe needs second line of defence to stem migrant inflow
Change language:
Prague (MTI) – The European Union has so far failed in its management of the migration crisis as it has failed to protect the Schengen Area’s external borders, which is why the bloc is in need of a second line of defence, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in Prague on Monday after a Visegrad Four summit on migration.
The prime minister reiterated Hungary’s stance that Europe’s migrant inflow needs to be stopped altogether. He said the line of defence between the European Union and Turkey has proven ineffective as it has been unsuccessful in stopping the migrant flow. Orbán said logic and political responsibility dictate that discussions should be held on a second line of defence.
What Hungary can do is provide help to those willing to set up that second line of defence south of Hungary’s borders, the prime minister said.
