Hungary’s Orban: Migrant violence ‘crossed the Rubicon,’ vows continued resistance to EU migration bullying
Hungary has consistently stood up against EU migrant quotas, from the start of the Syrian crisis to this day
CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS - OCTOBER 2, 2023
Hungary has consistently stood up against EU migrant quotas, from the start of the Syrian crisis to this day, resisting EU bullying. Hungary has also witnessed the decline of other EU member nations (and the UK) that adopted open-door migration policies. Their economies suffered, as did their national security. Amid soaring violent crime, Sweden’s prime minister vowed change in his country’s migration policy to the “EU’s strictest.” Swedish police have called for more deportations in hopes of rescuing the country from the previous government’s disastrous mistakes. Similarly in France, knife attacks have soared, linked to mass Muslim migration. Orban stated that “some 128,000 migrants” were stopped by authorities from crossing their border illegally. Orban also said that “attacks against border officials by migrants have become daily occurrences and that there have been 168 ‘severe attacks’ this year.” These are examples of what led to Viktor Orban’s declaration that migrant violence has “crossed the Rubicon.”
Meanwhile, in the UK, Home Secretary Suella Braverman ordered woke police to tackle crime instead of “hurt feelings.” And in Germany, Muslim migrant crimes have been concealed to prevent “prejudice.”
Even Elon Musk has entered the conversation about open-door migration policies, reportedly agreeing with Orban’s criticism of the UN asylum system. Radio Genoa recently tweeted: “There are currently 8 German NGO ships in the Mediterranean Sea collecting illegal immigrants to be unloaded in Italy. These NGOs are subsidized by the German government. Let’s hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide.” Musk replied: “Is the German public aware of this?”
“Hungary’s Orbán Declares Migrant Violence Has ‘Crossed the Rubicon’, EU Immigration Pact Has Failed,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, September 28, 2023:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that violence from migrants has “crossed the Rubicon” and his government will refuse to abide by diktats from the EU to force more migrants into his country.
Speaking at the opening of the Hungarian parliament’s autumn session, Viktor Orbán warned that the battle between Brussels and Budapest will likely “deepen” in the coming weeks over the EU’s latest migration pact, which was passed over the objections of the conservative governments in Hungary and Poland. Under the terms of the pact, member states will be forced into taking in illegal migrants who entered other nations within the EU or face fines of €20,000 per migrant they refuse.
The Hungarian leader said this represented a desire from Brussels to “force the migrant compact down our throat” prior to the European Parliament elections next year.
He said that instead of pushing migrant quotas, the EU should instead focus on “fences and border controls,” adding that the migrant crisis will not be resolved until “Brussels accepts that nobody should enter EU territory without an application approved and entry permit granted”.
Orbán noted that Hungary’s EU accession treaty “doesn’t contain a single word about the mandatory admission of migrants, migrant quotas or migrant ghettos, and we can’t approve anything like this afterwards, either.”
The conservative prime minister went on to claim that Hungarian authorities have prevented some 128,000 migrants from crossing their border illegally. Orbán said that attacks against border officials by migrants have become daily occurrences and that there have been 168 “severe attacks” this year…..
