The EU policy related to illegal immigrants jeopardises the very existence of the Schengen Area, György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister said on the public service television news channel M1 on Tuesday morning.

The Chief Advisor stressed that uncontrolled mass migration is posing a threat to European citizens.

He added: in accordance with the needs of members of the electorate, a number of Member States have now begun to defend themselves against the flow of migration after they realised that the European Union is unable to take effective action to counter it.
