Hungary officially quits UN Global Compact for Migration approval process
Change language:
Hungary officially notified the United Nations on Tuesday that it is quitting the approval process of the Global Compact for Migration, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said.
It has become clear that differences between Hungary’s position on migration and the UN’s approach are irreconcilable, Szijjártó told a press conference.
“Hungary will maintain its position and no global package can change that”, he added.
“We see migration processes from a different perspective,” he said. The UN believes that migration is unavoidable, beneficial and should be supported, while Hungary considers it a danger to Hungary and Europe, he said, adding that the UN’s aim was to encourage migration whereas Hungary’s goal was to stop it.
The Global Compact for Migration includes some agreeable targets, such as taking action against human smugglers, but its effect will be contrary even to these, he said. A document that encourages migration will only benefit human smugglers because they can then convince more people to set off, telling them that they will be accepted in line with the global compact, Szijjártó said.
Well done Hungary !
Peter Szijjarto has stated the very obvious, a country’s national right is paramount with regard to whom it chooses or adjudicates as suitable to live within its borders in harmony !
Too often we see the illegal transposing of their philosophy of back door entry, for the accepted and legal front door entry of lawful normality ! !
