According to the Prime Minister the massive population movement has to be stopped, but we also have to understand that migrants are victims and the problem is caused by the policies of Brussels.
“Sunday’s referendum will be crucial for both Hungary and the European Union”, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told daily newspaper Magyar Idők one day before the Hungarian referendum about the mandatory refugee relocation quota. Hungary’s “sensitive geographical position” pushes it, every thirty years, into the “spotlight”, into the mainstream of current European debates, Mr Orbán said. Such was the case in 1956 and in 1989, and now “we are the ones who must stop the massive population movement from the South which poses a threat at Europe’s borders”, he explained.
The Prime Minister said uncontrolled migration is a danger, a massive population movement, “and this is just the vanguard, because the real pressure on Europe will come when the many millions of people waiting in Central Africa also begin to move”. He said it was obvious that the migrants are not refugees, but are heading to Germany, Austria or Sweden in search of a better life.
Mr Orbán also added that “migrants are victims of local conflicts and of the liberal European policies which have led them to believe that they are free to come here and this will be their promised land”. According to Mr. Orbán, the problem is caused by the policies of Brussels, “which invited masses of unfortunate people to Europe with the promise of a better life”.
