Fidesz accuses leftist DK of wanting to dismantle Hungary border fence
Change language:
Ruling Fidesz on Tuesday said it had “further evidence” that the leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) wanted to “tear down the border fence and let migrants” into Hungary.
At a press conference, Fidesz MP László Böröcz cited DK MEP Klára Dobrev as saying recently that she opposed any reimbursement of Hungary’s border protection costs by Brussels. He said this was because DK “isn’t looking to protect Europe and Hungary, but instead wants to settle migrants here.”
“[DK leader Ferenc] Gyurcsány and his party have already been doing everything they could to attack Hungary’s border protection measures,” Böröcz insisted.
“Gyurcsány has literally said that it was completely pointless to seal the border and has gone there personally to protest against the construction of the fence.”
Böröcz also noted that Democratic Coalition had refused to back a constitutional amendment proposal banning the settlement of migrants in Hungary and had collected signatures in support of the European Union’s migrant quota scheme.
