Orbán cabinet: Hungary will not take in a single migrant!
Hungary will not implement the EU’s migration pact and will not take in a single migrant, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said at a regular press briefing on Wednesday.
Not a single migrant: Hungary will not implement the migration pact
Gulyás said there will be a European Union summit in Brussels next week, but the interior and justice ministers have already reached a decision on the distribution of migrants, which determines the numbers and capacity for Hungary.
However, Hungary will not implement the migration pact and will not take in a single migrant, the minister said.
The biggest danger of the decision is that this migration mechanism would allow for the unlimited distribution of migrants in the event of a crisis, he said.
However, Hungary will not implement the migration pact and will not take in a single migrant, the minister said.

Gulyás said Hungary had followed the most democratic procedure on the matter, consulting voters in a referendum, where “the overwhelming majority” rejected the resettlement, so the European Union cannot determine who Hungarians should live with.
Sharply anti-Hungarian EU proposal
In contrast, the Hungarian opposition parties have supported every EU decision, the fine imposed on Hungary as well as the migrant distribution quota, he said.
The minister mentioned another “sharply anti-Hungarian EU proposal,” the RepowerEU, which, he said, was going to further deteriorate the bloc’s competitiveness as it would ban oil and gas imports from Russia from the end of September 2027.
If the proposal is approved, Hungary will challenge it in the EU court, Gulyás said.

According to the EU treaties, all member states have the right to determine its energy mix, and the Russian energy sources are indispensable for Hungary’s energy security, the minister said.
The proposal bypasses unanimity, goes against the basic principles of the EU, and is also an open attack on the policy of regulated household energy prices because if these energy resources have to be obtained from elsewhere, they will be significantly more expensive, he added.
Home energy storage
Gulyás also said the government will roll out a 100 billion forint programme to support home energy storage investments. Homeowners with solar panels may apply for up to 2.5 million forints for 10kW of battery storage, he said. The tender is expected to be called in January next year, he added.
He added that the measure would support the sustainability of the regulated utilities price scheme for households.
Young offender institutions under police control following scandals
n connection with developments at Budapest’s Szőlő Street young offender institute, Gulyás said that facilities “in which young people live under a criminal ruling” will be placed under police control. Gulyás said the government measure concerned five such facilities and would “take effect almost immediately”.
Gulyás said an investigation into the Szőlő Street case led by the prosecutor’s office was under way, suspects have been detained and “several former leaders are being prosecuted”.
Gulyás said the institute was “not a children’s home or orphanage but a prison for juvenile delinquents”, adding that it currently has 57 inmates held there under a court ruling. He said 27 of the inmates have been convicted for robbery, four for sexual assault, three for manslaughter, and two for terrorist activities, while others had been imprisoned for physical violence, burglary, drug trafficking or minor offences.
Welfare system cannot prevent criminal activities
He said “the welfare system … could not prevent criminal activities, that is why the government decided to put those facilities under police control.” The police will be tasked to enforce the law in those institutions, he added.
The government will take measures “to ensure that it is done effectively … and that all staff members act lawfully with inmates and any abuse or crime is prevented,” Gulyás said.
He insisted that the criminal proceedings now underway had been initiated due to an earlier programme of screening all employees of the sector, during which “a serious suspicion was raised against the former leader” of the Szolo Street facility.
The government rejects any form of violence, with special regard to violent acts against juveniles, Gulyás said.
That is why a criminal procedure was started that revealed all the abuses that were already known, he said.
It is a good decision to place the institution under police supervision, Gulyás said, because “if these institutions had been controlled by police, this would not have happened”.
Interior minister has no reason to resign
The government’s main responsibility is to act as strictly as possible in such cases, to facilitate the investigation, as far as it can with its own means, with the cooperation of these institutions, and to establish the strictest possible rules for such cases, the minister said.
When asked whether Sándor Pintér, the interior minister, should resign, Gulyás said Pintér had no reason to do so, but it should be investigated whether any authority or police were responsible for the fact that this case took so long to come to light.
Budapest tax
On the 6 billion forint solidarity contribution withdrawn from Budapest’s account, the minister said the head of the state treasury would commit an offence and act illegally if they did not collect the debts, and at the same time he rejected the accusation that the government was pushing the capital towards bankruptcy.
It should not lead to bankruptcy if someone fulfils the solidarity obligation, especially since the capital’s revenues have increased significantly more than its tax payment obligations, he said.
When asked why the government had not yet paid the capital the 12 billion forint annual public transport support, and the 8 billion forint due for the purchase of trolleybuses, Gulyás said Budapest would receive the 8 billion forints, and the 12 billion forints would be paid once the mayor has signed relevant contract.
Hungary says no on migration pact
When asked about the implementation of the EU’s migration measures, Gulyás said that infringement proceedings are likely to be initiated against Hungary, but the government has not ruled out changing these rules. The Slovak, the Czech, and even the Polish government led by Donald Tusk also consider this regulation as unenforceable and unacceptable, he said.
This is a serious matter because Western European societies have “destroyed themselves with migration,” and this should not be a model for Central Europe to follow, he added.
For us, it is unacceptable that the leaders of the EU at the Brussels headquarters think that multicultural societies are good and and the traditionally established, culturally-based nation should be broken up, Gulyás said.
When asked about the relief loan the government is to provide the capital, the minister said the government would be happy if it did not have to apply this legislation. This is for the event that the capital does not want to or cannot pay its own employees, but if it pays everyone, it will not be necessary, he said.
Hungarians often complain about how corrupt Orban Viktor is – and how he sells Hungary to every foreign bidder.
To those Hungarians I can only say this : come live in The United States, where not only is every aspect of the economy sold to alien interests – so is your land, race, culture, and history.
Having studied Hungarians and Hungary so much in recent years I have come to believe that Hungarians are very very spoiled – and do not realize it!
Your economy may be bad, but, your people and culture are very much intact.
We, not just in the U.S., but, in many western countries, are in sad shape in practically every way.
dont worry about the Hungarian people and culture. very soon hun`garians will be an extinct ethnicity`. just take a look to the curren demographic performance. While i am not supporting the mass migration from asylum seekers, i think that the people that Hungarian government is bringing should be treated in better way. but anyway, im glad selfish Hungarians will go extinct like the dinosaurs!
Come on, all the brain-dead O.D.S.* sufferers: Explain how this is a bad thing.
You can whine about the wages, about the state of the socialized healthcare, about LGQHDTQWERTYBS, about “corruption,” and so forth and so on, but if the borders are not secure and if you allow your country to be swamped by hordes of illiterate, unwashed, violent third-world flotsam, NONE of those other things matter. Not a single one.
So you know what? I wouldn’t care if Orban himself would come to my house and pick my wallet clean; I’d rather have him in power and be able to walk the streets of Hungary in absolute safety, than cower in my home not daring to go out because some pathetic nondescript Brussels puppet caved to the globalist-socialist-fascist agenda.
Hajra Fidesz!
