Együtt urges voters to boycott quota referendum
Change language:
Budapest (MTI) – The opposition Együtt party will urge its voters to abstain from participating in the Oct 2 referendum on the European Union’s migrant quota scheme, the party’s leader said on Friday.
Viktor Szigetvári told a press conference that his party considers the referendum anti-European and anti-refugee, adding that any vote cast on Oct 2 will only help the government.
The official campaign period for the referendum begins on Saturday.
Szigetvári described the referendum as a “deceitful question” asked by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. “Someone who lies in a question doesn’t even deserve an answer,” Szigetvári said.
In the referendum Hungarians will be asked: “Do you want to allow the European Union to mandate the resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens to Hungary without the approval of parliament?”
Szigetvári said voters should not give Orbán a chance to “use [their] votes however he pleases” and urged them to fight the prime minister’s “hate campaign”.

Szigetvari should be tried for treason for even mentioning a boycott. and stabbing Hungarians in the back Anti-European, anti-migrant is not a bad thing at all unless one wants to lose all control of their own country. Szigetvari should move to Brussels if he is so supportive of the E.U.
