Hungarian strategic cabinet prepared amendments for restoring migrant detention rules
Makó (MTI) – The government’s strategic cabinet has prepared four legal amendments needed for restoring migrant detention rules and will submit them to parliament in the near future, government office chief János Lázár said on Tuesday.
Migrants staying in Hungary pose security risks and the government has decided to restrict their free movement, Lázár told a public forum attended by some 200 people in Makó in southern Hungary.
In the future, migrants who apply for asylum will have to wait at the border while their request is being assessed, Lázár said. Currently, they are staying in open camps. These seven to eight hundred persons currently in Hungary will be transported back to the border in several steps, Lázár added.
In response to a question, Lázár said that closing the Romanian-Hungarian border is currently not on the agenda but preparations have been made and plans are available for building a second fence on the Hungarian-Serbian border.
