György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister has told Hungarian television channel M1 that migration pressure is not easing.

According to Mr. Bakondi, the EU’s migration policy is fundamentally misguided, and it is now up to nation states to protect their external borders.

It is in the interests of Hungary to have the EU-Turkey migration deal maintained, Mr. Bakondi pointed out.

He said that Hungarian authorities are not aware of any planned terrorist attacks at Christmas markets or other mass celebrations but if there is any suspicion of that occurring, every effort will be made to protect the people.
