Prime Minister Viktor Orbán addressed the state commemoration of Hungary’s anti Habsburg revolution of 1848/49 with a strong message on migration and attacking the EU's policies.
"It is forbidden to say that immigration brings crime and terror to our countries," Orban said. "It is forbidden to say that the arriving masses from other cultures are a threat to our way of life, our culture, our habits and our Christian traditions."
Orbán described the EU’s refugee policy as one that would first decide who Hungary has to admit before forcing the state to “serve foreigners in our own homeland” after which “we find ourselves locked out of our own country”. He reiterated the governments positon on Hungary’s rejection of the European Union’s mandatory refugee resettlement scheme.
