According to the Prime Minister, in contrast to the European Commission’s proposal, the borders of Hungary will be protected by Hungarian soldiers and police officers, and the country will not accept any kind of resettlement programmes.
In his video message posted on his Facebook account, which was recorded on Wednesday on his way to the three-day summit of the heads of state and government of EU member states, Prime Minister Viktor Orban took the view that there will be an important meeting in Brussels as the European Commission continues to manufacture resettlement programmes at full speed.
“They continue to want to take away from us our right to border protection, and they want to tell us who may reside in Hungary and in the rest of the countries of Europe”, the PM said.
Orban highlighted that regarding proposals of this nature the Hungarian position is clear: “our borders will be protected by our soldiers and police officers, and we will not accept any kind of resettlement programme”.
The prime minister concluded the message recorded en route to the airport by saying: “Go, Hungary! Go, Hungarians!”

Some people think that migration is a good thing, we think it is dangerous – Hungarian PM

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said in a video posted on Facebook that Hungary had “successfully defended” its right to protect its borders at this week’s European Union summit in Brussels.
Orban added that the debate on migration was not over yet. “Some people think that migration is a good thing and they keep pushing on,” he said. “We think it is dangerous.”
Hungary together with “a few other countries managed to repel the pro-migration proposals of the Brussels bureaucrats,” Orban said, adding that some leaders still insisted that Europe needs migration.
“And then there’s us, who say that our borders should be protected, that migration is dangerous and that every country should have the right to decide for itself whether it wants to let anyone into its territory,”
he said. The migration debate is set to continue in December, he added.
The Visegrad Group countries will later hold talks with Japan’s prime minister before attending a summit with Asian leaders, he noted.
According to reports, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said at the summit that the EU should apply the concept of “mandatory solidarity”.
Under this concept, all member states would have to contribute to managing the bloc’s migration situation, although not necessarily by taking in refugees.
Citing an EU diplomat who requested anonymity, Brussels-based news outlet Politico reported Kurz as proposing that member states should be able to choose other forms of solidarity besides refugee quotas. One such method would be making financial contributions towards protecting the bloc’s borders.
Politico said that Orban “was unusually quiet during this summit” but chimed in at this point to support Kurz’s plan, which he called “the best proposal”.

Hungary wants to know how many migrants arriving in Europe were “paid” by the UN

Hungary’s Fidesz-led alliance expects the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to respond in connection with the issue of “migrant cards”, the ruling parties’ group spokesman told press conference on Sunday.
Istvan Hollik said Hungary wanted “a straight answer”concerning how many migrants arriving in Europe were“paid” by the United Nations, how many types of cards were in circulation and funded by the UNHCR, how much money the organisation had paid out via the cards as well as how much money each migrant received.
He noted these questions have already been addressed to the European Commission president and the European Parliament’s LIBE committee without any response so far.
“I’d also like to know what the UN High Commissioner for Refugees thinks about the possibility that the money doled out through the cards can be used for people smuggling and financing terrorism,”
he added.
Hollik said the questions were relevant since the UN has a standpoint on migration and various UN leaders openly make pro-migration statements while attacking Hungarian anti-migration policy.
The spokesman said the UN is still working on adopting a migration pact whose aim is to make migration a fundamental human right.
“Fidesz, the Christian Democrats and the Hungarian government resolutely reject this,” he said, adding several other countries besides Hungary, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and the United States, rejected the UN document.

Security must be returned to the people of Europe and identity preserved – Hungarian FM

Hungary’s minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade speaking at the National University of Public Service has said that mass illegal migration has caused “parallel societies” in several western European cities.
Whilst he believes that everyone wants a strong and successful Europe, the strategies for achieving that are different.
FM Péter Szijjártó said that some believe Brussels must accumulate as many powers as possible at the expense of member states, whereas Hungary has a different opinion.
The minister explains that Hungary rejects the goal of a united states of Europe and the agenda of member states distancing themselves from their national and cultural identities.
Szijjártó added that for Europe to be strong and competitive, competition must be allowed within the European Union with security being returned to the people of Europe and Chrisitan culture and individual identity preserved.
It is important for there to be debates on the EU’s future, but he feels disputes quickly become emotional with those opposed to the main stream being soon stigmatised.
He wisely adds: “For these debates to be fought successfully, they must be based on common sense and mutual respect”.

Concerning the European Parliament’s decision to hold another vote on “migrant visas”, the Hungarian Prime Minister said that “it seems that we will have to keep on voting until we arrive at what they consider the right outcome”.
Viktor Orban added that “this institution calling itself a guardian of the rule of law will easily transgress the norms of that rule of law”.
He voiced hope that after the upcoming European elections the “worn out MEPs will go home” and the deputies replacing them “will understand that we are in a different era”.
He insisted that the current European Parliament and European Commission “cannot take the speed or the approach required in this new world”.
He said that the commission needs “new members who will redirect this institution from an ill-advised political path to where it belongs; it is up to member states to set directions rather than the commission,” and added that “we don’t need a politburo”.
Answering a question about Ukraine, Orban said that while that country has an “anti-Hungarian” government, the Hungarian government is “pro-Ukraine”. “We won’t change our position and stand by Ukraine in this conflict,” he said.
