Vast majority of Hungarians reject EU quota plan
Budapest, May 17 (MTI) – Just under 90 percent of Hungarians who plan to cast a vote in the forthcoming referendum on the European Union’s migrant quota scheme would reject it, the Századvég Foundation found in a recent survey.
The poll published on Tuesday also found that 72 percent of the electorate would express their opinion in the popular vote. It added in a statement that 97 percent had heard of the referendum initiative.
Fully 54 percent expressed a definite intention to participate while 18 percent said it was likely they would do so.
The telephone poll was conducted with a sample of over 1,000 voting-age adults last week.

Hungary should be proud to make a stand against the EU’s stance of forced quotas of migrants into EU member States. I wish you well in your November Referendum
Please continue to resist the EU’s stance on forced migrant quotas. I believe Hungary should be able to protect their national identity as should other European countries.
Considering only six of the 28 EU nations have said they would take in refugees I think Hungary could easily take over the EU if those 22 nations stick together.
