Hungarian foreign minister slammed the European Union because of migration again
Change language:
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó on Thursday attended a working lunch with his counterparts from the Visegrad Group and France, where he said the three main risks regarding migration in Europe “are all due to the European Union’s approach”.
At the lunch attended by Foreign Ministers Tomas Petricek of the Czech Republic, Jean-Yves Le Drian of France and Ivan Korcok of Slovakia, and by Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister Szymon Szynkowski, Szijjártó said
a migration wave would be a “much greater danger for Europe now than it was in 2015,
as it would also constitute a serious public health risk besides risks to security and culture”. “Uncontrolled crowds would spread the novel coronavirus extremely quickly,” he added.
- Will Hungary convince the EU that stricter migration rules are needed?
- Hungary’s justice minister: ‘We want to stop migration’
- Orbán: New EU migration pact could force Hungary to welcome migrants
Regarding the migration route across the Western Balkan countries, Szijjártó noted that the EU had agreed to pay Turkey six billion euros in support, to be paid until 2018. So far, it has only paid 4 billion, Szijjártó said.
On one hand the EU is paying Turkey to keep the migrants there-even tho Turkey doesn’t want to keep them either, while the other hand says Hungary is being so heartless. Why is the EU “commission “ so Insistent that Hungary allows passage? Passage to where? No EU government seems to thrilled to be overwhelmed by immigrants as their own immigration plans change, as do the guarding of their own borders.. People love to wave the flag “Bu Bu Bu” but we have laws. Maybe it is time to change laws that fewer and fewer nations welcome.
