Italian government decision to open southern ports ‘dangerous’ – Orbán cabinet
Change language:
The Hungarian government’s position is that the Italian government’s decision to open the country’s southern ports to illegal migrants is dangerous and gives cause for concern, the foreign minister told MTI on Tuesday.
Just how many illegal immigrants have already entered Europe is enough, there should be no more allowed in,
Péter Szijjártó said, highlighting the importance of protecting Europe’s borders.
The Hungarian government was the first to prove that the flow of immigrants via land routes can be stopped, he said.
The previous Italian government with Matteo Salvini as deputy prime minister and interior minister was the first to prove that the same could be achieved on the sea route as well, Szijjártó said.
This is why the new Italian government’s decision is a major setback, he said.
After opening the ports, the next step will obviously be for the Italian government “to enforce” the migrant distribution quota scheme which Hungary will continue to reject, he added.
The continuation – enforcement of border control that is exercised by Hungary, the place of my residency, is correct.
Italy’s, somewhat re-versal of its border controls opening it’s Southern Ports again will inflame this still dangerously precarious position of emigrants entre into Europe.
Let there be no black-mailing and for all and sundry just not the 28 countries of the EU, the position Hungary states ethically and morally in my opinion, may it remain and all see the increasing effectiveness this policy is having for the people of Hungary.
