According to the Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, the anonymous bank cards distributed among migrants are becoming less and less transparent financially, legally and also politically.

On Saturday on the public service television news channel György Bakondi said a great deal of obscurity surrounds anonymous migrant bank cards. Initially their very existence was concealed, later politicians said only those were given such bank cards who had refugee status in Greece, but Frans Timmermans, the lead candidate of the Left in the European parliamentary elections recently stated that such cards are also distributed in Turkey, he added.

While the European Union’s bureaucracy claims that the system of migrant bank cards is perfectly safe, security can hardly be guaranteed on the basis of undocumented data, the expert said.

He stressed that both the anonymous bank cards and migrant (humanitarian) visas serve the purpose of depriving illegal migration of its illegal nature, and of opening large and permanent transit gates towards EU countries.

According to the Prime Minister’s chief security advisor, this poses a very serious threat to Europe, primarily from a security point of view, but also as regards crime and acts of terrorism.
