Hungary refuses to comply with EU court ruling on migration, says Orbán

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Tuesday that Hungary stood by its border protection practices and it would “not allow in anyobody”.

Orbán told an international press conference that the government had weighed the possibilities following a decision by the Constitutional Court regarding a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that found Hungarian legislation on rules and practices in transit zones on the country’s border with Serbia violate EU rules on asylum and return.

“We will do nothing in the interest of changing our border defence practices. We will continue those practices exactly as we have until now, even if the European Court has told us to change them. We will not change them and we will not allow in anybody,”

he said.

In the decision, taken earlier in December, the Constitutional Court confirmed that the government must defend Hungary’s constitutional identity; it stated that if European Union institutions do not exercise shared competencies effectively, the Hungarian authorities may exercise them; and it asserted that the relationship between migration and human dignity must be examined from the perspective of the country’s existing, historical population.

Orbán: EC should recognise nuclear power as green energy

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that he expected a clear stance by the European Commission under which nuclear energy is recognised as sustainable green energy and energy produced from gas is temporarily accepted.

He told a regular government presser that participants in last Thursday’s meeting of the European Council had not come to an agreement on energy prices. At the same time, he said he expected that the majority opinion which surfaced at the meeting will be published in the form of an EU stance by the end of this year.

“The number of those that oppose nuclear energy is not large enough to form a minority that can block its use,” he said.

As a result, he said he expected a clear EU stance showing that climate protection is not possible without nuclear energy and therefore nuclear energy should be ranked as sustainable, green energy.

Just going to pop this in again.
Euronews 16 December
Don’t be fooled: Hungarian court ruling didn’t allow pushbacks – extract

“On December 10, the Hungarian government’s attempt at sabotage failed. It became evident that it can no longer evade its duty to implement the judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The practice of pushbacks to Serbia must end. Yet the government proudly announces to the world that it got what it asked for from the Constitutional Court. While it did not leave empty-handed, the plan did not fully work out. The Government will, of course, hide behind the Constitutional Court’s decision, because its aim is to increase political tension and uphold its inhumane regime”.

The rest is on the euronews website.

Thank God – Hungary – we have Victor Orban.
What a catacyslmic mess Hungary would be in – if over the past 10 years – we had adopted an “open” relaxed boarder process of entry into Hungary.
The Hungarian Government – they DECIDE – the LAWS – that Migration/Immigration – of who can enter Hungary – for whatever reason(s).
The success of our Laws – Migration/Immigration – its there on RECORD to read & study – this is what the EU, Britain and the Wider World – can’t Handle.
The “Shambles” in Germany 2015 – still they are “Scared & Bruised” – that has Damaged them, as a Country.
Turkey – watch, read & study – 85 million population, the Economy collapsed – people will want to get out – move on, in all probability into other parts of Europe.
There will be almighty Stuff Ups – by countries – involved with the challenges of people movement out of Turkey – and – HUNGARY – we will look on – and AGAIN say – Thank-You to our Prime Minister AGAIN and our Government – we don’t have this Massive Problem.
It will not be a PROBLEM to us in Hungary under Victor Orban, that had the “vision” to forsee, that over time – Migration/Immigration – in Europe – was going to be DANGEROUS and could bring about a disintegration, or major structural change – to the face of Europe in the 21st century.
Victor Orban – continues to be RIGHT – and we should pay credit to him, for the protection processes of our Boarders and the Migration/Immigration Laws – of Hungary.
Turkey – lets just sit back,in Hungary – observe what happens – the movement vast in number of a population 85 million, wayching & observing, possible – APPALLED – Disguisted – at the WAY of Handling – all these “other” expert country’s on Migration/Immigtation – the Stuff Up again – they WILL make.

Good decision. The original agreement Hungary signed does not contain an clause that state that they have to accept all uneducated or criminals that other countries are shedding .Hungary has always accepted refugees but not illegal migrants. Hungary provided opportunities for migrants to apply for legal entry into Hungary simply by applying at a Hungarian Consulate. The judges of the EU Court must have failed their bar exams or they are being paid off by Soros.

No where in any EU laws is a paragraph that allows LGBT, Satanists, WooDoo or Cat Worshiper to attend schools and brainwash children whose brains are not totally developed. Now, Hungary did pass laws to protect LGBT from violence and discrimination.

The EU has no logical or legal basis to complain about Hungary’s laws. Mr. Orban, You and your party FIDESZ are protecting the
population. Well done! No amount of money justifies losing sovereignty. Russia and China are waiting with open arms to help Hungary.

@jimjones you say that migration is always a thing. Perhaps, you can ask Indigenous people in North America how migration went for them (hint, it didn’t). I am not against migration per say, but unrestricted immigration (ex: as seen in Sweden) is such a foolish idea.
