Facebook statement by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán

Tuesday. Meeting of the Fidesz Executive Committee. Battlefield report from our MEPs fighting in Brussels. We heard that Brussels has launched a campaign of lies against Hungary related to migration. They claim that they're not obliging Hungary to take in illegal migrants. This is all a downright lie! The reason we reject the Migration Pact is because it makes it compulsory to let in migrants and create migrant ghettos – thereby destroying our entire border defense system. So far we've spent 2 billion euros on border defence. We deserve to be rewarded, not punished. Migration is an issue on which one only needs to make a mistake once: in those countries where weak leaders in weak governments have let in migrants, they can never send them back out. We shall not allow this! We are the opposition to the pro-migration Brussels. It's been like this before, and it will be like this again. If they nominate a proconsul, if they send a puppet government to be imposed on us, it will do them no good: we shall not yield!
