Fidesz MEP: Hungary cannot allow EU migration pact to happen

“We must not allow that to happen … We must redouble our efforts to protect Hungary, the Hungarian people, the peace and security of Hungarian families," Balázs Hidvéghi said.

Balázs Hidvéghi, an MEP of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz, said that while illegal migrants “slaughter innocent victims on a daily basis” in Western Europe, the European Union “insists on pushing through its migration pact” before the 2024 European Parliament elections. Such a move would “consolidate immigration with all the associated risks” in the whole of Europe, Hidvéghi said on Facebook. “We cannot allow such a myopic decision to jeopardize Hungarian lives,” he added. Hamas’s attack against Israel, he said, had ratcheted up tensions in Europe. “[Yet] Brussels seeks to force the migration pact onto member states, a pact that would further broaden illegal migration throughout Europe.” “We must not allow that to happen … We must redouble our efforts to protect Hungary, the Hungarian people, the peace and security of Hungarian families.”
