The Deputy Prime Minister pointed out: confusing the issue of refugees with the issues of shortage of labour and demography is the biggest mistake which we can make.

Zsolt Semjén told journalists at a public forum held in the locality of Polgárdi in Fejér County: it has been proven that „the Hungarian Government followed the path of common sense, while German politics pursued a line that had little to do with real life”. The KDNP Deputy Prime Minister said: those who are genuine refugees must be taken care of as a humanitarian and Christian duty, but only those may be regarded as refugees whose lives are in danger due to their national, religious or political convictions. This, however, is only true of a fraction of those arriving in Europe, and genuine refugees, too, must be provided for primarily in their native land, he added.

Mr Semjén pointed out in the context of a shortage of work force: if the Germans’ claim were true that they support immigration due to a shortage of labour, they should take workers from Spain where unemployment is extremely high. Additionally, a fair percentage of the migrants will never integrate into western society, do not want to work, do not want to learn German, have no qualifications, and are illiterate, he said.

If there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Hungary, a parallel society will come into being, and this will lead to permanent social conflicts, he warned. And as their demographic indicators are better, they will „within seconds” overturn the receiving country’s lifestyle, culture, national and religious heritage, and the consequences of this are unthinkable, he added.

The Deputy Prime Minister takes the view that German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policy is illegal and anti-democratic: it is illegal because it did not observe the Schengen Agreement, and „invited in millions without asking the rest of the countries”, and it is anti-democratic because she forgot to ask the German people whom they want to live together with.

Mr Semjén stressed that we must not make a mistake on the issue of migration. „If we make a mistake now, it cannot be remedied: if we have hundreds of thousands of Muslims here, we shall never be able to remove them from here, our children will go to school together with children wearing headscarves, and we shall be compelled to live under the threat of Sharia, he said.

Gábor Törő, Member of Parliament for the constituency said before an audience of some one hundred and fifty: there will be a momentous referendum on 2 October which may create a dialogue between the Hungarian Government and Brussels.
