Debate over the EU migration pact in Hungary
Fidesz has firmly called on the Hungarian government to make an official statement regarding the European Union's new migration pact. The ruling party expects the cabinet to announce, before it enters into force on Friday, that Hungary will not implement the provisions contained in the EU agreement.
The European Union's migration pact is a comprehensive regulatory package aimed at increasing solidarity among member states and managing migration processes. Under the rules, member countries would be required to participate collectively in the distribution of asylum seekers or support border protection tasks in other ways.
The Hungarian government's position on this issue has been consistent for a long time: members of the cabinet have repeatedly emphasized that Hungary does not agree with mandatory quotas and certain elements of the pact. According to the government, national sovereignty and the protection of borders take precedence over EU regulations.
Fidesz politicians argue that the implementation of the pact would jeopardize the country's security and change Hungary's demographic situation. For this reason, they are urging the government to clearly reject the application of the Brussels regulation.
In the coming days, further consultations on the issue are expected to take place at both the EU and national levels. The Hungarian government's decision regarding the pact could be decisive for the future relationship between the country and the European Union.
