Egyutt, DK slam Orban for EU-Turkey summit

Budapest, November 30 (MTI) – Prime Minister Viktor Orban enforced “his own misguided policies” instead of Hungary’s interests at Sunday’s European Union-Turkey summit, moving Hungary away from the EU, the opposition Egyutt party said.

The Democratic Coalition (DK) said Orban suffered a defeat at the summit and demonstrated again that the Hungarian government represented an obstacle to European security.

Egyutt said “it is insane for Hungary to pay 18 million euros in order to stay away from a joint European solution and for Orban to be able to stick his head in the sand.”

Orban told the summit that the 3 billion euros offered by the EU to help Turkey finance refugee services would cover a two-year period. He added that Hungary’s contribution of 18 million euros to the European effort was in proportion to the country’s GDP.
