Hungary’s foreign minister: Brussels ‘clearly’ pressing for migrant quota

Budapest (MTI) – The European Commission and the European Parliament have made it “entirely clear” that their support for mandatory migrant quotas is unbroken, Levente Magyar, state secretary at the Hungarian foreign ministry, told a press conference on Friday.

Institutions of the EU are “systematically working to resettle an enormous number of immigrants of unknown origin and intent” in member countries, Magyar insisted. The EU “wants to dictate its will” on member states, and “forcefully” distribute “thousands” of migrants among them, he argued. He warned that if that happens, Europe would face “political, cultural, economic and security challenges unprecedented in the past 70 years”.

Introduction of the migrant quota system can only be prevented through action by member states, such as Hungary’s upcoming anti-quota referendum, he insisted.
