According to the Prime Minister’s Chief Security Advisor, the European Union is continuing to work on unifying new refugee procedures and the quota system, and this clearly indicates that the EU has difficulty learning and drawing conclusions.

Speaking on Hungarian M1 television’s Wednesday morning current affairs program, György Bakondi said that according to statistics there are fewer and fewer Syrians and increasing numbers of people arriving from Pakistan, Afghanistan and various African countries, who are economic immigrants.

The Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister also spoke about the fact that there is continuous “seepage” northwards from Greece and people are occasionally arriving at the Hungarian border in larger groups, in which case people smugglers attempt to smuggle them into Europe simultaneously, but the Hungarian authorities are usually successful in preventing their entry.

Later, on Kossuth Radio’s “180 minutes” program, Mr. Bakondi added: “We are at a disadvantage with regard to people smugglers because every European country is governed by the rule of law and there are detailed regulations to support the assumption of innocence, whereas this rule of law ‘is meaningless’ to people smuggling organisations and terrorists, who exploit all possible loopholes”.
