Government: EU migrant quota means over 160,000 migrants for Hungary in five years
Change language:
Budapest, November 2 (MTI) – The European Union’s quota system would result in moving over 160,000 people, the size of the Hungarian city of Szeged, to Hungary in the next five years, the prime minister’s cabinet chief said on Monday.
Antal Rogan told parliament that the Hungarian government wants to appeal to the European court against the EU quota, which would force Hungary to take in people.
It became clear over the weekend that Hungarian-born US billionaire George Soros is behind the “settlement quota”, Rogan cited ruling Fidesz group leader Lajos Kosa saying.
The quota means that the EU wants to have migrants to settle in member countries regardless of what the national parliaments, the governments and the residents think about this. The mandatory settlement quota would be defined by a formula, Rogan said and presented to MPs a sign showing the “Juncker formula”.
I believe that immigrants are picky where they want to live and Hungary is not a country they wish to settle in. I seems according to immigrants comments they want Germany or Sweden or the UK where social security payments and the standards of living are higher. The EU will be unable to force the immigrants into places they don’t want to go, which could involve violence from unhappy immigrants.
The EU must have a referendum on immigration in each EU state for their citizens to decide this matter.
Of course as I suspect coming from the undemocratic Commissioners they will be afraid to allow a free vote on this issue. A further sign of the EU’s inabilty to get to grips with immigration.
