Brussels ‘punishing’ Hungary for ‘protecting its borders’?
Brussels is “punishing” Hungary because it is protecting its border, Barna Pál Zsigmond, a state secretary of the European Union affairs ministry, said on Facebook on Saturday.
Brussels wants to force Hungary to accept 7,000 migrants a year, Zsigmond said, noting the European Commission’s recently issued implementing decision on capacity for asylum procedures under the new migration pact.
The decision requires Hungary to provide 7,716 permanent reception places, 25.7 percent of the total, while it must undertake over 15,000 border procedures in the first year, he said. The number of procedures could rise to three or four times the number of reception places in the following years, he added.
He said Hungary’s quota was a multiple of the French or German quotas and even more than those in Bulgaria and Greece, along the Western Balkans migrant route.
“It is unacceptable and completely irrational that just two member states, Hungary and Italy, should be responsible for over half of the reception capacity on the EU frontiers,” he added.
He said the quotas were based on statistics showing illegal migration over the past three years, adding that the formula “punished” member states that had protected their border from illegal migrants and reported their numbers to the EU.
He said the measure was a “cynical attempt by the pro-war, Sorosist left-wing in Brussels” to keep politically motivated migration processes in place, and he affirmed Hungary’s position on protecting its borders. “We will not allow Hungary to become a country of migrants,” he said.

“pro-war, Sorosist left-wing in Brussels” oh dear, was there ant adjective missing over there? Probably this Is one of the few policies that i might partially agree with orban. I think many people even from the left would agree with controlled migration. But the thing is, Hungary even applying the asylum program will reject anyone that is not from the favorite countries of Fidesz, i mean well known democratic countries like china, Russia and Belarus. Heck i think they migh even accept north koreans! But well, if i need to choose between fidez and any other party, with eyes closed I would avoid mR Orban
Why are all of these “men” of Fidesz such whiney bitches? The made their bed with Brussels, and now they have to lie in it. If they were serious about migrants they would not release 2000 known traffickers from jail. If they were good at stopping it, we would not have our neighboring countries thinking about putting in border control, The border is not overwhelmed, it is grossly mismanaged by Fidesz. Like his friend Trump, Victor keeps the border issue alive to help him scare people into voting for him AGAIN. Perhaps he should be concerned about all the unvetted passports he keeps handing out to people that do not live here, will never live here, but vote for him in elections because they too have moved on to countries not described at the poorest in the EU.
The Muslim immigrants and their descendants caused hell in many EU countries. Other uneducated migrants from Africa, South America and middle east are supported by taxpayers. Hungary does not have the space, jails or money to support criminals. There is such a thing as legal immigration you sapskulls. Legal immigration should be supported by all.
Dear Maria, That is why Hungarian government are releasing crimilans from Jail!. So what are you proposing to bring legal immigrants? how do you really track all the background of a foreigner? you can barely track the people from Hungary, (just take a look to the corrupt government) how do you really solve the issue? the trump wall did not work, the weak fences (like the weak Hungarian government) does not work, please enlight me, and by the way now that you mentioned south america. Please take a look to all the Venezuelans that your government brings without any criminal check!
The smugglers only tried to bring uneducated illegal migrants through the country and did not want to settle the criminals on the necks of Hungarian taxpayers. Since the EU is trying to punish Hungary for not allowing rapists and murderers in the country, why should taxpayers pay for jailing those that want to commit crime against western EU. As previously stated, the EU can go to Hell.
Hungary must turn neutral and get out of terrorist EU.
