Fidesz rejects the European Union's migration pact
Fidesz has called on the Hungarian government to firmly reject the implementation of the European Union's new migration pact. According to the governing party, Hungary must not implement the regulations that would be mandatory for member states in managing migration.
The European Union's new regulation enters into force on Friday. The goal of the pact is to standardize asylum procedures and the distribution of migrants among member countries. However, the Hungarian government's position is that these measures violate the country's sovereignty and jeopardize border protection.
Fidesz politicians emphasized that Hungary remains committed to strict border control and stopping migration. In their view, the decisions made in Brussels do not serve the security of the Hungarian people, which is why they expect the government not to apply the common EU rules.
The matter is expected to further increase tension between Hungary and the European Commission. In the coming days, it will become clear what concrete steps the government will take regarding the pact and what reactions will come from EU bodies.
