Hungarian government spokesperson Zoltán Kovács spoke to Magyar Hírlap about NGOs, border protection and the Hungarian legal action against the quota system.
The problem is not with the some 60 thousand civil organisations in Hungary, but with so-called NGOs, that are trying to prove that they are true civil organisations”, Government Spokesman Zoltán Kovács said in an interview for Magyar Hírlap. “These few dozen organisations are using foreign money practically exclusively in the interests of changing the existing political framework”, he said. Mr. Kovács also added that while previously these organisations were involved with the situation of Hungary’s Roma minority, their true topic has since become migration.
It's clear that “these organisations are working against existing Hungarian and EU legal frameworks using hundreds of millions in funding from Soros”, he said. “Political decision-making is the task of governments, the representatives elected by the people”, Mr. Kovács said, noting that nobody has ever elected NGOs, but they nevertheless want to assume this role.
According to the spokesman all signs indicate that a system is being developed in the EU that is fundamentally not aimed at protecting the borders, but which would instead like to institutionalise the framework for allowing the entry of illegal immigrants. “There is a true danger that they will try and push the legislation through before summer. This is what we are fighting against”, he stressed.
