Government official: Threats by migration commissioner unacceptable
On Tuesday, a state secretary of the Ministry of European Union Affairs said the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, ‘s threats against Hungary are unacceptable.
Barna Pál Zsigmond said on Facebook that “the former Austrian politician of the left-wing European People’s Party talks about the implementation of the migration pact, while he is forgiving with Germany and Warsaw that have left-wing leaders. This is another case of political crippling by Brussels, which we resolutely reject.”
“Hungary does not want migration,” he said, adding that instead of fines, Hungary deserved recognition for protecting the borders. He said it was time that the commissioner should seek real answers. “Rather than using blackmail,” the EU’s external borders must be protected, asylum requests should be collected at external locations, and an effective system of expulsion should be introduced, he said.
“Mr Brunner, we are asking for more common sense. Let’s protect Europe from illegal migration together, which is also your task,” he said.
