Prime Minister Viktor Orban voiced a strong opinion abuot migration at the first summit of the European Union and the Arab League.
Speaking at the EU-Arab League summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Viktor Orban said that the causes of today’s migration tensions will intensify. The question is whether we “want to passively accept these processes, or […] act to control them”. According to the prime minister, “we must respect the cultural, religious and political traditions of our peoples” and we must not underestimate the power of demography.
According to Kormany.hu, Orban pointed out that in his experience people smugglers, terrorist organisations, illegitimate power groups, NGOs, financial speculators and the media are exerting a strong influence over migration policy – and thus also over European-Arab relations.
