Antisemitic violent acts have re-emerged across Europe, posing a serious threat unprecedented on the continent since 1945, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s chief domestic security adviser György Bakondi said on Wednesday.
Hungary is not only defending its own citizens but also serving the security of the entire European Union by guarding its southern borders, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister György Bakondi said Wednesday morning on M1 television.
Hungary’s migration policy and its stance against illegal immigration represent a core value, and maintaining this approach is a fundamental national interest, said Chief Security Advisor György Bakondi on Saturday on M1’s 'Tonight' program.
György Bakondi said Hungary refuses to implement the migration pact, adding that the country instead aims to cooperate with and aid migrants’ countries of origin and transit countries.
Last year, Hungarian border guards arrested around 900 border violators in the first four months of the year, and almost 5,000 in the same period this year.
György Bakondi said the "successful migration policy of the Hungarian government must be continued."
György Bakondi said that although this figure is lower compared with previous years, it still posed a serious challenge.
United Nations data shows that almost 1 million irregular migrants come to Europe each year.
György Bakondi said the fact that some migrants were carrying knives or guns showed that illegal migration posed a threat to the county's security.
Authorities apprehended 70 people on the southern border this past weekend and more than 3,700 migrants have been caught so far this year.
