György Bakondi, the prime minister's domestic security advisor, said the Hungarian state will file a lawsuit against the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the court's ruling to impose a daily 1 million euros fine on Hungary.
Bakondi told commercial channel TV2 that the European Union had launched several procedures against Hungary over migrants, including one that resulted in a daily 1 million euros fine. He added that the EU wanted to enable migrants to submit asylum requests in Hungary as against another country, such as Serbia.
"It was a clear call that illegal migrants must be allowed to enter," he said, adding that the government had no other option but to launch a lawsuit against the court with the help of an international legal firm.
He also said that several European countries were currently introducing national solutions to the migrant crisis, citing Italy, Bulgaria, Austria and Spain as examples.
