Hungary won’t admit a single migrant in 2026, says the Orbán cabinet
Hungary will not admit a single migrant in 2026, nor will it pay a single forint of Hungarian taxpayers’ money to accommodate migrants from other EU countries, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said in a post on Facebook on Sunday.
Hungarian rebels against 2026 migration pact
Szijjártó said one of the biggest battles of 2026 would involve Hungarians’ rebellion against the migration pact coming into force next summer.
Whereas as the pact, on paper, was meant to make the European asylum system more effective, in practice it would “force Hungary into an impossible choice: pay or admit migrants.”
He added that it was “outright absurd” that Brussels wanted to compel Hungarians to pay for migration.
The minister noted that Hungary built its border fence at its own expense and had defended the EU’s external border for more than a decade, yet it was currently fined 1 million euros each day for refusing to admit refugees.
Security deteriorated in the West due to illegal migration
Countries to the west of Hungary, he said, could not or would not defend themselves against migration. There, security had deteriorated “to such an extent that it is tearing apart the fabric of society, and they want to offload their migrants onto Hungary through the migration pact.”
“To this we say — as we always have done — ‘no’ in 2026: Hungary will not implement the migration pact … We don’t want parallel societies, and we don’t want to spend Christmas under the threat of terrorism.”
Szijjártó said that Brussels’ “puppets”, the opposition Tisza and DK parties, would turn Hungary into a country of immigration.
“Next year, Hungary will need all its strength, because Brussels wants to begin settling migrants here,” he said.
As long as Orbán is PM, Hungary won’t become immigrant country
As long as the country is led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Hungary will not become an immigrant country, Tamas Menczer, the ruling party’s communications director, said in a post on Facebook on Saturday.
In his post, Menczer noted that the suspect in Friday’s knife attacks against three women in central Paris is a 25-year-old man of African descent who has a criminal record.
He said opposition Tisza Party leader Peter Magyar and Tisza MP candidate Kriszta Bodis did not consider immigration to be a real problem, while Tisza MEP Dora David “wants us to take in everyone, and Tisza’s Judit Barna claims there are no immigrants”.
“Brussels is making us pay a daily fine of one million euros because we won’t let these murderers in,” Menczer said. “[EPP leader Manfred] Weber, [European Commission President Ursula] von der Leyen and all of Brussels are blackmailing, attacking and threatening us because we refuse to let migrants in.”
“Our position is clear: as long as the country is led by Viktor Orbán, Hungary will not become an immigrant country,” Menczer said. “We want a safe and peaceful country.”

The Hungarian government has perfected the art of fighting phantoms. It vows to admit “not a single migrant,” while loudly complaining about the massive EU fines this stance incurs—fines for a migrant “invasion” they simultaneously claim no one actually wants.
It’s a masterclass in political theater: invoking terror abroad to justify building a fortress at home, all while ignoring that Hungary is primarily a transit country. The performance isn’t about reality; it’s about crafting a perpetual state of siege for domestic audiences.
One wonders whether you are willfully ignorant or a deliberately mendacious troll.
The migration “pact” (or, more accurately, DIKTAT) demands E.U. member countries accept illegal migrants. While Hungary may be a “transit country” for those coming into the E.U. illegally, once they claim asylum, they are dispersed among the E.U. in accordance with said diktat. And yes, they do stay where they are sent. That is why there are tens of thousands of them in Greece, Slovenia, and Croatia.
We do not want third-world flotsam here. End of story.
If you do, go to Western Europe, which has been turned into cesspits of rapes, robberies, and terrorism by these violent, illiterate, criminal parasites.
Ah, Steiner, the “flotsam” fan-fiction is truly inspired. How clever to spot that Brussels sends paperwork, not people, to Hungary’s door. A masterstroke of policy: pay millions daily to avoid a hypothetical crisis, then cite those payments as proof of the crisis. The fortress stays empty, the fines stack up, and the siege narrative sells beautifully. Bravo.
I agree with you, Dear Rádzs, that there is theatre here.
Of course : it’s politics.
That said, Mr. Steiner is right in his comment to you.
You come live in a country like the U.S., which is now crawling, even in smalltowns, with non-natives.
We have lost our home.
You have not.
Orbán has protected you from this disaster.
Mouton is a PRETEND AMERICAN who blogs on this site. If someone lies about their identity do not believe that they have any good intentions posting whatever they blog. The whole migration issue is used by Russia to cause division in Europe. That’s why Russia and Belarus has been flying migrants into their countries to push them across Europe’s borders in Poland and Finland.
Why would anyone pretend to be an American?
You act, like that’s something enviable.
But who envies houses made of cardboard? Tent cites? Drug addicts walking around the cities? Non-existent public transport? Healthcare, which is both the most expensive, and the least competent on the planet? Working conditions that makes a child soldier cry? Eating food, that is more poisonous then nutritious? Having more school shootings then the rest of the world combined? Having an anti-white racist regime trying to destroy the new generation?
And to top it off, you are paying even more taxes then people in Europe.
I would rank the USA around Somalia.
Dear Mouton!
You are not native american!
All current Americans live in the USA are immigrants from the EU and other countries!
So excuse me not believing in your narrative!
“All current Americans live in the USA are immigrants from the EU and other countries!”
Well, My Dear Radzs – you are half right and half wrong.
Right, in that my daddy’s people came here from Hungary in 1870. Yes, they sailed here; applied for permission to enter, and then went through a long process to become citizens.
They were immigrants.
My mother’s family, however, were not immigrants.
No, here you are wrong : because they came here from England in the early 17th century, and fought 200 years of war with Indians in Virginia and North Carolina.
They conquered this land, paid for it in blood, cleared the land, and they built the buildings.
They brought the entire English society here.
The United States, or colonies, if you will, did not exist before them.
Therefore the correct word and concept for this, in English, – is conquest and settlement, which ,by the way, is exactly what the Indians were before us.
They were not native, and they fought endless wars of conquest with each other.
So, no, I am not an immigrant, but, living as a native in the land given to me by my mother’s people.
Come on Mouton!
sometimes you are Russian and now you came from Hungary?!!!
What version of your AI answers should we beleive!??
You are really that dumb, that you can’t distinguish the context among the interviews?
The EU want to abolish nation states. That’s a fact. The fastest way to do that is to erase the cohesive population.
The EU did support migration in the 2015 crisis, and still attacks Hungary for resisting.
Hungary, when says “no one wants migration”, is not talking about politicians. They talk about people of the serf class in the West, and also the whole of Hungary, encompassing every class, the working class, the middle class, and the upper class. (Yes, Hungary still has a middle class, and as such is not divided between aristocrats and serf, Like that West, as surprising as that might sound.)
What about the Golden Visa….if you pay you are welcome….this is not considered as immigrants?
Its because they want rich immigrants (expats if you will) and not poor ones,
I’m not sure they even want those, they bring a foreign perspective that influences the local population in a manner that contradicts government communication, often in small rural settlements where largely everyone knows everyone in the village. Self funding retirees from outside the EU are finding their residency permits are not being extended upon expiry, it was reported here a couple of months ago and there’s plenty of chatter in ‘expat’ circles about the same thing.
Londonsteve, Why did you draw that conclusion is beyond me.
Golden visas are not extended, because Mi Hazánk is gaining momentum on the fact that culturally incompatible people come to live in Hungary, and be arrogant about it, because “they payed for it”.
Fidesz don’t want Mi Hazánk to eat their lunch, so Fidesz restricts migration to stop MH from growing.
It’s that simple.
I agree with you, Márk – Fidesz often does what they do because of Mi Hazánk – whether it is, as you say – closing migration, or, in other ways, Fidesz adopting ideas from Mi Hazánk – like the right to use cash money, instead of having to pay via digital means.
Firstly the facts: retirees from the US, Australia, Canada and the UK, inter alia, are finding that the authorities are refusing to extend their residency visas upon expiry as they ‘don’t fit into an existing category’ such as work, study, marriage, etc. They’re fully self-funding, make no demands on local public services and their foreign income from pensions and investments usually exceed all but the very best Hungarian salaries. It is therefore perplexing why the government wants them to leave (as they surely will if they find their residency visas are cancelled and any ongoing presence will be time limited to being a tourist).
The reasons behind this is indeed my conjecture, really, it’s the only plausible reason I can come up with. Even the most hardcore Mi Hazank voter would (one assumes) have little issue with a retired US or Australian couple residing in Hungary while spending their foreign pension buying local goods and services. They generally buy property, sometimes in a rural settings in a dilapidated condition, refurbish it using local tradesmen, eat out a lot and lead a generally quiet life while avoiding engaging in the nefarious sports of pickpocketing, muggings or car theft. The vast majority (if not all other) European countries would be delighted to attract them to live there.
