LMP urges European-level solution, DK calls Orban only obstacle to it
Change language:
Budapest, September 17 (MTI) – The opposition LMP party on Thursday urged a common European-level solution for the migration crisis whereas the Democratic Coalition (DK) said that only Viktor Orban, Hungary’s prime minister, was standing in the way of such a solution.
LMP proposed that the EU should set up common transit zones, define a list of safe countries, as well as start a dialogue and renegotiate deportation agreements with countries along the migration routes, the party’s spokesman told reporters.
Jozsef Gal said the EU should contact the governments of Pakistan and Bangladesh, adding that NATO should move to protect refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
The EU should provide more support for Turkey, set uniform asylum standards and draft in cooperation with the United States an international financial assistance scheme for countries from where migrants arrive, he said.
MEPs of the Democratic Coalition said the Hungarian government must support a quota system proposed by the EP as the only humane solution for the migration crisis and for building solidarity among EU member states.
It only became a problem when a mass wave of migration was orchestrated with the sole purpose of changing forever the face of Europe. No single country can manage on its own but full marks for Hungary and Viktor Orban for trying.
