State secretary Pál Völner stressed in an interview that the European Commission is putting pressure on Hungary because of its anti-immigration stance.
“Jean-Claude Juncker is the sound of pro-immigration Brussels, and we have become used to the Commission repeatedly attacking because it is not pro-immigration; what they want to achieve is for us to demolished the fence and allow the migrants in”, the Ministry of Justice’s Parliamentary State Secretary Pál Völner said in an interview for Hungarian political daily Magyar Idők, according to Kormany.hu.
In the interview, which was published in the 14 September edition of the paper, the Deputy Justice Minister also spoke about the fact that “Brussels could be launching a court case against Hungary within the next few days because of the quota affair, meaning we are only at the very beginning of the immigration battle”.
“The legal situation is clear; the Luxembourg court’s ruling state that the EU resolution is valid, meaning the decision on quotas to determine the temporary distribution of migrants in September 2015 was made within a suitable framework. However, the day after the quota ruling, the EC’s Commissioner for Migration already announced that they would be putting forward a proposal for the establishment of a permanent mechanism before the end of this year, which means that the resettlement of migrants would be continuous”, he explained, adding “the quota case was only the beginning, the major battles will only begin now”.
