It is difficult to formulate our indignation in a civilised manner on the European Union's proposal to impose a 250,000 euro-per-person fines if member countries refuse to take in migrants.

"The proposal is a punch is a stomach, the leaders in Brussels in their isolated ivory tower have no knowledge of the reailty", the PM said in his regular Friday morning interview with satte radio.Central European and Baltic countries have fierce oppose Brussels proposal, which in the case of failing to comply with the resettlement requirements, would trigger a penalty of 250,000 euros (about $287,000) per migrant."An average Hungarian citizen earns this much in roughly 39 years of annual wage for an average. In seven years, Hungary receives 4,000 euros per head from EU funds", he said. "We have acted in a European manner during the crisis", Orbán stressed.
