Foreign minsiter warns of ‘growing’ migration threat
Change language:
Not only is the issue of migration still present, but it also represents a growing threat, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after talks with the head of the Maltese prime minister’s office on Thursday.
Due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, migration is not as prevalent of a topic as it used to be, Szijjártó said in a video message on Facebook. He cited the head of the Maltese PM”s office as saying that the island state had seen a greater influx of illegal migrants just in the first two months of 2020 than throughout the whole of last year.

- Illegal migrants almost disappeared from the borders of Hungary
Malta’s migrant camps are full and the migrant vessels arriving at the country’s shores are also a problem, the minister said.
“They’re seeing an exponential rise [in illegal migrants],” Szijjarto said. “Sources say there are 650,000 people at Libya’s shores who are basically just waiting to leave the country and set off for Europe. Now Malta is experiencing first-hand the effects of the extremely hypocritical and harmful European migration policy we’ve been taking a firm stand against for the last five years.”
If one can raise the money, one can just a buy passport (legally) in Malts and then have access to the whole of the EU:
How do you buy Maltese citizenship?
€650,000 (£554,000) to a national development fund.
€150,000 into Maltese stocks or shares.
Buy a property worth at least €350,000 (or rent one for €16,000 per year)
Paulus has failed to mention that there are OTHER countries in the E.U. which offer ‘citizenship for sale’ ,
including :
BULGARIA / CYPRUS / GREECE / IRELAND.
If prospective applicants have enough money to pay for such ‘privileges’, then I personally have nothing against the concept.
