Earlier, Hungary’s government warned of the possible consequences of immigration to Europe and continues to oppose Brussels’ migrant policy.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke on the radio about the fact that a new European Commission is needed that will develop a new migration policy.
“We need a new Commission… with a new approach,” Orban told state radio.
Viktor Orban’s tough line towards migrants since the refugee crisis erupted in Europe in 2015 has caused a serious rift with Brussels over compulsory EU quotas for asylum seekers that member-states are required to accept.
After hundreds of thousands of migrants entered Hungary, Budapest built a border fence along its southern frontier to stop the influx.
Harsh anti-immigration measures were a major part of Viktor Orban’s election campaign and remain one of the main topics in his current political agenda.
European Parliamentary elections will be held next year.
