Prime Minister Orban stated that Brussels has initiated a new, senseless and unjust attack against Hungary with yesterday’s migration decision.

Orban stressed that the European Commission’s claim that Hungary is not affected by the migration crisis is extremely grave and completely detached from reality.

“Hungary is Europe’s strongest line of defense, and even this year alone tens of thousands of people have attempted to enter the country illegally. We prevented these attempts with our border fence and thousands of border guards; Brussels, however, punishes us with a daily fine of 1 million euros.”

Orban said that while they have closed the southern route, with the migration pact they are now also facing a western front, adding: “Brussels’ latest decision obliges Hungary, starting from next July, either to accept migrants from other European countries or to pay the cost.”

Orban continued: “As long as there is a national government in Hungary, this unacceptable decision will not be implemented. In any case, there is still a long time before July. Elections will be held next April. The Hungarian people will make an important choice.”
