Complying with the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on migration policy would be tantamount to scrapping border protection “and the country would be full of wandering migrants”, the prime minister’s security advisor told public news channel M1 on Wednesday.
“What good would border protection be if migrants were to be transported to camps? Hungary would also need to assess 25 percent of the applications submitted in the EU, which would lead to the formation of migrant ghettos,” Gyorgy Bakondi said.
“The government is unwilling to do so, in line with the will of its citizens,” Bakondi said.
It will also sue the European Commission to receive compensation for the 800 billion forints (EUR 2bn) on border protection, he added.
Noting that the CJEU fined Hungary to 80 billion forints and an additional 400 million for every subsequent day of non-compliance with its migration policy, Bakondi said the fine was seven times the amount originally sought by the EC.
The Hungarian and Serbian authorities had cooperated to push migrants — who were often violent and toting guns — from the Hungary-Serbia border, and they had now moved towards the Bosnia-Croatia border, he said.
Bakondi said the fact that some migrants were carrying knives or guns showed that illegal migration posed a threat to the county’s security.
European countries were currently looking for alternative solutions, with Italy transferring migrants to Albania, Bakondi said. The United Kingdom had planned to airlift them to Ruanda but the new government had scrapped the idea, “and the flood of migrants instantly restarted across the Channel”, he noted.

Allowing uneducated, unassimilable Muslim, criminal illegal aliens is too high a price to pay for bad EU policy. No member country has proven that these criminals added to the economy and their support lowered Europeans standard of living. Hungary is only for Hungarians.
If asinine EU parliament reps. want to help people, spend the money educating the primitive population in their native countries.

@mariavontheresa – funny, that. Hearing similar things in certain circles in Europe regarding “Eastern Europeans” (which incidentally includes … us). If you recall, the Far Right has certain notions regarding people from Central and Eastern Europe!
Look at the Brits: be careful what you wish for. Ending freedom of movement and their EU membership arguably has had more impact on them than on the EU.
