Proof surfaces of attempts to make UN migration compact mandatory, says Hungarian FM in Brussels

“Tangible proof” has surfaced indicating that several committed supporters of the UN’s migration compact want to make the pact mandatory for every EU member state, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told a press conference on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.

A “secret document” has been published on work by the European Commission’s legal service to formulate “lengthy and devious” legal grounds for suggesting that the compact is, after all, mandatory for EU member states, he said.

Although the document was not released the way the EC would have wanted it to be, Szijjártó said, the commission “has confirmed its existence”.

“It is Hungary’s clear conviction that the package is not binding,” the minister added.

He insisted that the EC intends to have the EU’s development policies implemented on the basis of the goals of the migration compact. The document also mandates that member states must contribute to achieving the EU’s goals, including the implementation of the migration compact, Szijjártó said.

The minister said it was clear that the compact had supporters in Brussels, arguing that “it is rare that legal opinions like this are not ordered publications”.

“This means that the battle hasn’t ended,” he said. “In fact, there’s a new battle starting against Brussels’ secret pro-migration plans”.

Hungary holds firm on its refusal to carry out “a single word or sentence” of the global migration compact, the minister said.

In response to a question on another subject, Szijjártó said Hungary‘s ruling Fidesz was the most successful member of the European People’s Party, arguing that it won three consecutive general elections.

“Fidesz, which wants to remain a member of the EPP, would like to be a part of the debate that is not just about the future of the European Union, but also the position to be represented by the EPP in the future,” he added.

    One can be assured Hungary’s best interest is in the capable hands of its tireless Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and, its Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in guarding against the EU and EC plans to surreptitiously introduce a ‘United States of Europe’ concept, and thereby removing national responsibilities that rightfully belong to the independent sovereign nation of Hungary !

    Essentially, as in ‘Handing the keys of the Kingdom’ to another distant power, whose interests may be directly contrary to one’s own !
    A prime example of such was 2015 when Chancellor Merkel of Germany opened the country’s doors to more than a million migrants against many nations better judgement, as is now seen ! You really don’t have to speculate on a motive, its past history there to see!!
