    You have the right to know: some in Brussels think your national borders are an unfortunate obstacle to immigration

    Feb 28, 2019 - Zoltán Kovács

    Have you noticed how the bureaucrats in Brussels talk about “border management” instead of saying “border protection” or “border defense”? It’s not a coincidence. It betrays a fundamental difference in how we approach migration. For those in the pro-migration lobby, immigration is a positive outcome and national borders are the obstacles.

    No surrender: Hungarian borders must be protected by Hungarians

    Sep 21, 2018 - Zoltán Kovács

    PM Orbán has been saying it for years. Europe must make border security the top priority, before any discussion of quotas or anything of the kind.

    Nov 21, 2016 - Zoltán Kovács

    “These people aren’t involved in border protection,” said Prime Minister Orbán of the newly established Frontex unit proposed to the management board. Frontex, of course, is the EU agency that was set up to manage cooperation among national border guards and help secure the EU’s external border. The problem with the proposed, new unit is that it is for anything but guarding European borders and coastlines. Plus, it is ridiculously weak in numbers.
