Orban: With such a migration policy as Merkel conducts, I would be immediately thrown out of office

The open door policy leads to “mass death” of migrants, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with Bild. He criticized those European leaders who invite refugees to their countries. Instead, the Hungarian politician suggested sending all the “rescued” back, closing the EU border and developing a plan to help people on the ground.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is convinced that European politicians who are calling refugees to their countries are to blame for the deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean. To stop the “mass deaths of people”, you need to return all the “saved” to Africa, protect the borders of the EU and develop a plan to help those regions where they run, he said in an interview with Bild. The politician advises to carry out modernization there, develop the economy with the support and supervision of donor countries.

Migration policy is not the “common task of the EU”, but the matter of each state separately, Orban said: “The Hungarians decided that they do not need migration.” He also stressed that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has no right to decide who can live in her country. “If I had pursued the same migration policy as the German Chancellor, I would have been banished from the post on the same day. The Hungarian people, who lived in the occupation for decades, are very sensitive to the issue of national independence, “Orban said.

Also, the Hungarian politician spoke in defense of his actions directed against the billionaire George Soros and his fund. The prime minister called him “a speculator, a representative of casino capitalism, who spends money on promoting migration.” Orban insists that these persecutions are not anti-Semitic: “If Soros was a Swabian, we would do the same.”
