Ruling Fidesz is afraid of a migration wave towards Europe

Kinga Gál, the head of ruling Fidesz’s European Parliament Group, has called for preventing an aggravation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, warning that it could set off a major migration wave towards Europe.

Speaking to Hungarian reporters on Wednesday after an EP debate on Iran’s attack on Israel earlier this month, Gál said the April 14 attack carried the risk that the entirety of the Middle East could turn into a war zone, which would pose a threat to Europe’s and the entire world’s peace and security.

“The conflict must be prevented from becoming an inter-state war and from setting the entire region alight,” the Fidesz member said. “This calls for both sides to exercise restraint.”

The MEP warned that an aggravation of the conflict would have severe consequences, such as triggering a major migration wave towards Europe.

“We need to prevent the emergence of another major migration wave which would threaten Hungary and the whole of Europe,” she said.

Hungary’s interests lie in there being peace in the Middle East, Gál said, adding that the Hungarian government was sticking to its pro-peace stance despite the EP’s plan to “punish Hungary by adopting a position accusing it of spreading Russian propaganda”. Hungary, she said, would stick to its pro-peace stance concerning the Russia-Ukraine war in spite of any resolution condemning the country. She called for a ceasefire and the start of peace talks in the conflict.

  1. Unless and until the E.U. gets off its dime and starts protecting its borders by disallowing entry to all those not coming with a valid passport and visa, Fidesz has every right to be deeply concerned. And so are we, the overwhelming majority of the people of Europe and citizens of Hungary.

  2. The blindness of Michael is astonishing. He calls legal migrants to all russian and Chinese people that will be brought by orban. They guy that swear that Hungary will not be a country for migration. Hold my palinka, seriously
