Orbán: Mandatory quota system must be blocked
Change language:
Budapest, February 22 (MTI) – Blocking the EU mandatory quota plans for distributing migrants will be a number one priority for the Hungarian government in the upcoming period, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in Parliament on Monday, in a briefing on last week’s EU summit.
The cabinet will meet on Wednesday to discuss how to fend off this “attempt by Brussels to … relocate people to Hungary regularly and in large numbers that Hungarians don’t want to live with, ” Orbán said.
The next EU summit planned for early March will focus on this issue, whether member states are willing to sanction a clause to be built into EU legislation requiring countries like Hungary to automatically receive migrants, he said. The new clause would work as a “standard mechanism for refugees, it would continously send migrants that Hungary does not want to accept and that it currently stops at its southern borders,” he added.
Orbán said the situation in the west is “getting more and more strained” and the pressure is increasing on the Visegrad countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
Orbán noted that the EU had earlier made a one-off decision about relocating 160,000 migrants, but Hungary and Slovakia had attacked this decision at the European court.
Hungary’s response to the 2015 migrant crisis in connection with illegal entrants had been to “control, identify, block and return” them, just as the Schengen rules prescribe, he said.
An important milestone at the summit was that for the first time the community accepted Hungary’s approach for the whole of Europe and agreed that it was a priority to stop the migrant inflow, Orbán told lawmakers. It was made clear that external borders must be protected, a goal that used to come second to refugee and humanitarian considerations, he said. It was also made clear that everyone must keep fully to the rules of Schengen, Orbán said, adding that the EU is now “where it should have been a year ago”. The countries of the “Balkan route”, including Austria have “started to walk the path of common sense,” he added.
Mr. Orban is right, but not hundertpercently. The way should be as follows: Merkel
must declare how many migrants Germany is willing to accept (as Austria did it
already). Reaching that number Germany should be oblidged to stop them at it´`s
borders.Otherwise EU puts the cart before the horse and bla bla comments will
continue even in hundewrt years time
@Dimi/Germany
I disagree as does Orban. In the first case, Mad Merkel and JunkFarmer decided what was best for Europe without asking them. Secondly, they both allowed in all kinds of people with different intentions UNCONTROLLED against EU regulations. Thrice, they realized their mistakes, tried to stay’Politically Correct’ and failed. To end this, Germany will stop making decisions for the rest of Europe. Germany does what it likes to itself. If they are not willing to work with the rest of Europe, this UNION will end. This is not in the best interest of any EU members nations, including Great Britain, which will cease on BREXIT, should it happen. Just think the US of Ayes, love this. They wouldn’t be happier with a destroyed economy in the EU, China, and Russia as well as Middle East. How else will they get their own economies out of the hole.
Check out the Russian propaganda that’s being fired back at the US of Ayes.
This is above Orban’s head of course, but not the Superpowers….
