Another manipulative video attack on Hungary
Guy Verhostadt, President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, attacked Hungary in Wednesday’s debate of the European Parliament, alfahir.hu wrote.
The Belgian liberal politician posted a 25-second video on Facebook, which shows that, while illegal immigrants have to duck under barbed wire at the border, they are welcomed in Canada, because Justin Trudeau, the ultra-liberal Prime Minister accepts them with a hug.
On the MEP’s Facebook page several of his commenters drew attention to how this is a huge misstatement. The politician answered that he understands the world being not black and white and that history will consider how Europe treated the refugee crisis. However, he is disappointed that there is no strategy, no quota system and fair and humane registration for the refugees; in addition, he has not seen any results of the European summits in the last six months.

American representative stood up for Hungary
But of course, there are other types of foreign expressions regarding Hungary as well: Ted Poe, representative of Texas stood up for the Hungarian migrant policy in the Congress of Washington on Tuesday.
He said Hungary is a sovereign country that makes its decisions “according to its interests and concerns”. He added that they themselves would not be happy if Canada wanted to tell them what to do. Hungarians do not want other countries, like Germany, dictate them what to do, either.
According to the Houston politician, refugee crisis is a complex issue, and there are two sides of the moral argument: refugees fleeing war must be helped, but a government also has to protect its citizens.
The American politician cited OECD data as well about the Hungarian economy, and he underlined that Budapest should rather invest in its own nation and economy than spend billions on accomodate other people.
