CNN’S video debating Hungary’s controversial refugee referendum

As we’ve reported a few days ago, several illustrious media of the international press expressed their opinions on the result of the Hungarian referendum on migrant quotas. The topic was debated in CNN’s Amanpour, CNN International’s flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour. She speaks with Hungarian Government Spokesman Zoltán Kovács and former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Eleni Kounalakis, and they also get into a smaller argument.

CNN formerly published a summarizing article titled “Hungary voters reject EU migrant-resettlement plan, but low turnout invalidates results”, in which they write the following: “This is a piece of international PR,” said John Dalhuisen, the Europe director for Amnesty International. “This is international marketing. He’s selling himself as the ideologue of a radically different migration policy. You’d characterize (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel as being ‘let them come’ — he’s saying the solution to the refugee crisis, to the migration issues in Europe, is ‘let no one come.’”

And this is the debate between Christiane Amanpour, Eleni Kounalakis and Zoltán Kovács:
