According to the Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, instead of learning from the events of 2015 related to illegal immigration and reinforcing its external borders, to this day the European Union is engaged in “machinations” seeking to force Hungary to “toe the line” and take migrants in.

György Bakondi said on the Saturday evening programme of the public service television news channel M1 that the EU is seeking to adopt a new migration regime before the end of this parliamentary term, thereby creating a fait accompli situation for the new European Parliament to be elected next year in which “extreme liberal and left-wing” groups are far from certain to be given a major role similar to that which they are currently enjoying.

He highlighted that Turkey is no longer fulfilling its obligations related to illegal immigration with the same self-confidence as before.

According to the chief security advisor, in Italy many people have switched their preferences from pro-migration parties to anti-migration political formations.

The some half a million immigrants are causing increasingly grave tensions in the Southern European country, Mr Bakondi said.
