Balázs Orbán, the prime minister's political director, said the Hungarian government is "committed to coping with obstruction and resisting pressures from the Hungarian opposition or Brussels whether concerning energy security, migration policy, or the 13th-month pension."
Speaking on public radio on Sunday morning, Orbán said that "pro- and anti-migration forces in the German parliament are fighting a huge battle" over a recent decision in the Bundestag, adding that "there are signs that Germany's public opinion has completely changed in recent years and voters unanimously demand changes to the migration policy, but such a decision does not yet have a majority support in parliament".
Orbán said "the situation is nearing disaster" in Germany, which had received 3-5 million asylum seekers since 2015, overburdening the cities and service systems, and "a soaring number of violent crimes linked to migration" was resulting in high tensions in society.
Germany's politicians are "paralysed and unable to make decisions," he said, adding that "it is hoped that the political elite will soon adopt the new approach."
Orbán said some politicians suggested restrictions such as preventing illegal entry by all means and expelling people staying in the country illegally and said: "It is in fact the Hungarian approach".
"These are basic principles on which the successful Hungarian migration policy has been founded; but we have been sanctioned by Brussels because of that migration policy, which imposes a burden of millions of euros on the Hungarian budget," he said.
